RE: S.C.R. No. 6
Honorable Nadine K. Nakamura
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirty-Third State Legislature
Regular Session of 2025
State of Hawaii
Madame:
Your Committee on Water & Land, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 6 entitled:
"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF A TWENTY-FIVE-YEAR TERM, NON-EXCLUSIVE EASEMENT COVERING A PORTION OF STATE SUBMERGED LANDS AT EWA BEACH, EWA, OAHU, FOR A SEAWALL, AND FOR USE, REPAIR, AND MAINTENANCE OF THE IMPROVEMENTS CONSTRUCTED THEREON,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The
purpose of this measure is to authorize
the issuance of a twenty-five-year term, non-exclusive easement covering a
portion of state submerged lands at Ewa Beach, Ewa, Oahu, for a seawall, and
for use, repair, and maintenance of the improvements constructed thereon.
Your Committee finds
that, pursuant to section 171-53(c), Hawaii Revised Statutes, the Board of Land
and Natural Resources may lease submerged lands with prior approval of the
Governor and the prior authorization of the Legislature by concurrent resolution. Your Committee further finds that on May 24,
2024, under agenda item D-7, the Board of Land and Natural Resources granted a
twenty-five-year term, non-exclusive easement to resolve the encroachments of
the seawall identified in this measure, subject to certain conditions. Your Committee concludes that the easement is
necessary for the maintenance and repair of the seawall, and for use, repair,
and maintenance of the improvements constructed thereon.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Water & Land that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 6 and recommends that it be referred to your Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Water & Land,
