STAND. COM. REP. NO.  1488-08

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                , 2008

 

RE:   H.C.R. No. 258

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fourth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2008

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Water, Land, Ocean Resources & Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 258 entitled:

 

"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE OFFICE OF STATE PLANNING TO COORDINATE THE CITY AND STATE AGENCIES IN ADDRESSING THE OVERGROWTH OF VEGETATION ON KAHALA BEACH,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to request the Office of Planning to coordinate the city and state agencies in addressing the overgrowth of vegetation on Kahala Beach.

 

     The Office of Planning supported this concurrent resolution.

 

     Your Committee finds that the issue of induced vegetation growth by landowners on properties adjacent to the beach is one that is seen throughout the state, not just on Kahala Beach.  Your Committee hopes that the resolution of the encroaching vegetation issue on Kahala Beach can be adopted as a model for other areas of the state in the future.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Water, Land, Ocean Resources & Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 258 and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Finance.


 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Water, Land, Ocean Resources & Hawaiian Affairs,
