STAND. COM. REP. 3476

Honolulu, Hawaii

, 2004

RE: H.C.R. No. 13

 

 

Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2004

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Water, Land, and Agriculture, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 13 entitled:

"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF NON-EXCLUSIVE EASEMENT COVERING PORTION OF SUBMERGED LANDS AT KANEOHE, KOOLAUPOKO, OAHU, HAWAII, FOR MAINTENANCE OF BREAKWATER PURPOSES,"

begs leave to report as follows

The purpose of this measure is to authorize the Board of Land and Natural Resources to issue a lease for a term, non-exclusive easement covering a portion of state submerged lands at Kaneohe, Koolaupoko, Oahu, Hawaii, for maintenance of breakwater purposes, pursuant to section 171-53, Hawaii Revised Statutes.

Testimony in support of the measure was submitted by the Chairperson of the Board of Land and Natural Resources.

Your Committee believes that issuing a maintenance easement to the current owner of the land abutting the breakwater will benefit the State by eliminating the need for the State to allocate its resources for that purpose.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Water, Land, and Agriculture that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 13, and recommends its adoption.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Water, Land, and Agriculture,
