WHEREAS, the existing pier, and portions of the existing house, rock wall, and landscape area fronting the property identified as Tax Map Key: (1) 4-4-016:016, Kaneohe, Koolaupoko, Oahu, were placed on state lands (a portion of which is submerged); and

WHEREAS, around April 2019, the Department of Land and Natural Resources' Office of Conservation and Coastal Lands worked with the property owners to resolve the encroachments; and
WHEREAS, in July 2019, a shoreline survey showed a portion of an existing rock wall was also encroaching in addition to the portions of the existing house and pier; and
WHEREAS the shoreline survey also identified a portion of state land requested by the grantees for landscape purposes; and
WHEREAS, the Office of Conservation and Coastal Lands indicated it supported an easement to resolve the encroachments; and
WHEREAS, at its meeting of November 8, 2019, under agenda item D-14, the Board of Land and Natural Resources approved a grant of a 25-year non-exclusive easement to resolve the subject encroachments, and such non-exclusive easement shall run with the land and shall inure to the benefit of the abutting real property; and
