COM. REP. NO. 2208
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2023
RE: S.C.R. No. 30
S.D. 1
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2023
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Housing, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 30, S.D. 1, entitled:
"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING EACH COUNTY TO ADOPT AN ORDINANCE REQUIRING, AS A CONDITION OF ITS APPROVAL OF A SUBDIVISION OR ISSUANCE OF A BUILDING PERMIT FOR ANY NEW STRUCTURE OR UNIT WITHIN A STRUCTURE, THE SUBDIVIDER OR DEVELOPER TO OBTAIN ASSURANCE OF MAIL DELIVERY TO EACH PARCEL,"
begs leave to report as follows:
Your Committee did not receive any written testimony on this measure.
Your Committee
finds that certain property development projects in the State lack a sufficient
number of post office boxes and cluster box units to serve all residents in
rural areas. This causes residents to
have to drive over an hour to retrieve their mail from family or friends
residing within the United States Postal Service's service area. Your Committee further finds that existing
county ordinances do not require subdividers or developers to ensure that each
lot, parcel, structure, or unit of a structure located within a subdivision or
development project has a street address and mailbox. This measure seeks to ensure that all
residents are able to receive mail at their place of residence rather than
through other, inconvenient means.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Housing that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 30, S.D. 1, and recommends that it be referred to your Committee on Water & Land.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Housing,
