RESOLUTION
APPROVING THE DEDICATION OF KUKUIA STREET, LAHAINA, HAWAII, TO THE COUNTY OF MAUI.
WHEREAS, section 171-64.7, Hawaii Revised Statutes, requires the prior approval of the Legislature by concurrent resolution to sell certain state lands in fee simple; and
WHEREAS, the Hawaii Housing Finance and Development
Corporation (the "Corporation") proposes to transfer the fee interest
in Kukuia Street, Lahaina, Hawaii, and provides the following information pursuant
to section 171-64.7(c), Hawaii Revised Statutes:
(1) Kukuia Street is a roadway identified as a 1.962-acre parcel, TMK No. 2-4-5-021-021 (por.);
(2) The fee interest in this parcel was appraised to have a fair market value of $1;
(3) The parcel was appraised by ACM Consultants, Inc.;
(4) The appraisal valuation date is September 6, 2022;
(5) The primary purpose for the transfer of this parcel is to dedicate the roadway to the County of Maui;
(6) There are no development plans for this roadway; and
(7) As of August 15, 1895, the parcel was a portion of the Government (Crown) Land of Wahikuli; the Corporation's predecessor agency, the Housing Finance and Development Corporation, acquired title to the property through Land Patent Grant No. S-15,792, dated November 4,1994; and this was determined by a search of the title records for these parcels by Title Guaranty of Hawaii on January 20, 2022; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to section 171-64.7(c), Hawaii Revised Statutes, a draft of the concurrent resolution for the prior approval of a sale or gift of land was submitted to the Office of Hawaiian Affairs at least three months prior to the convening of a regular or special session of the Legislature to allow the office to determine whether the land was classed as government or crown lands previous to August 15, 1895, or was acquired by the State in exchange for such lands; and
WHEREAS, the Corporation will work with the County of Maui to finalize the dedication of this roadway; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to section 5(f) of the Admission Act, "the development of farm and home ownership on as widespread a basis as possible for the making of public improvement" is an expressly authorized purpose of the ceded lands inventory; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to section 171-64.7(e), Hawaii Revised Statutes, the Corporation duly conducted a public informational briefing on the dedication of this parcel on August 24, 2022, at the Lahaina Civic Center, Lahaina, Hawaii, following publication of notice of the briefing in the Maui News newspaper on August 18, 2022; and
WHEREAS, relevant public comments made at the public information briefing opposed development of the Fleming Road Extension in Lahaina generally, but did not object to the dedication of the Kukuia Street roadway to the County of Maui per se; now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED by the House of Representatives of the Thirty-second Legislature of the State of Hawaii, Regular Session of 2024, the Senate concurring, that the dedication of Kukuia Street, Lahaina, Hawaii, TMK No. 2-4-5-021-021 (por.), to the County of Maui, is hereby approved; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that certified copies of this Concurrent Resolution be transmitted to the Executive Director of the Corporation and Chairperson of the County Council of Maui.
