Honolulu, Hawaii

                   

 

RE:     S.C.R. No. 183

 

 

 

Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

President of the Senate

Thirtieth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2019

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 183 entitled:

 

"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF TERM, NON-EXCLUSIVE EASEMENTS COVERING PORTIONS OF STATE SUBMERGED LANDS AT WAIOHULI-KEOKEA (KIHEI), WAILUKU, MAUI, HAWAII, FOR THE USE, MAINTENANCE, AND REPAIR OF THE EXISTING SEAWALL CONSTRUCTED THEREON,"

 

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 term, non-exclusive easements covering a portion of state submerged lands identified as Tax Map Key: (2) 3-9-11:8, situated at Waiohuli-Keokea (Kihei), Wailuku, Maui, Hawaii, for the use, maintenance, and repair of the existing seawall constructed thereon.

 

     Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Department of Land and Natural Resources.

 

     Your Committee finds that section 171-53, Hawaii Revised Statutes, requires the prior approval of the Governor and prior authorization of the Legislature by concurrent resolution for this disposition of state submerged lands.

 

     Your Committee also finds that on August 25, 2017, under agenda item D-9, and on October 12, 2018, under agenda item D-5, the Board of Land and Natural Resources approved the issuance of term, non-exclusive easements to resolve the encroachments of the existing seawall areas identified in this measure.

 

     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. 183 and recommends its adoption.

 

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