STAND. COM. REP. NO. 1434

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    S.C.R. No. 126

 

 

 

Honorable Donna Mercado Kim

President of the Senate

Twenty-Seventh State Legislature

Regular Session of 2013

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 126 entitled:

 

"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF A NON-EXCLUSIVE EASEMENT COVERING A PORTION OF STATE SUBMERGED LANDS PURSUANT TO SECTION 171-53, HAWAII REVISED STATUTES, RELATING TO THE RECLAMATION AND DISPOSITION OF SUBMERGED OR RECLAIMED PUBLIC LAND,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to authorize the Board of Land and Natural Resources to issue a term, nonexclusive easement covering a portion of state submerged lands fronting the property identified as tax map key (1) 4-7-014: seaward of 010, Kaalaea, Koolaupoko, Oahu, pursuant to section 171-53, Hawaii Revised Statutes.

 

     Your Committee finds that the affected private property owners applied for a term, nonexclusive easement to resolve the encroachment of filled land, a seawall, and a small tile wall into state submerged lands.  On November 10, 2011, the Board of Land and Natural Resources authorized the issuance of the easement to the property owners.  Your Committee also finds that this measure satisfies the requirements of section 171-53, Hawaii Revised Statutes, which requires legislative approval by concurrent resolution prior to the leasing of state submerged lands.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 126 and recommends its adoption.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
