STAND. COM. REP. NO. 3444

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    S.C.R. No. 113

 

 

 

Honorable Shan S. Tsutsui

President of the Senate

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2012

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 113 entitled:

 

"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF A TERM, NON-EXCLUSIVE EASEMENT COVERING A PORTION OF STATE SUBMERGED LANDS AT HONOKAWAI, LAHAINA, MAUI, FOR SEAWALL PURPOSES,"

 

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, non-exclusive easement covering a portion of state submerged lands fronting the property identified as tax map key:  (2) 4-4-001:042, at Honokawai, Lahaina, Maui, for the use, maintenance, repair, and removal of an existing seawall over, under, and across state-owned land.

 

     Your Committee finds that the Board of Land and Natural Resources may lease state submerged lands with the prior approval of the Governor and the Legislature by concurrent resolution, pursuant to section 171-53, Hawaii Revised Statutes.  Your Committee further finds that the subject seawall was constructed in 1965 to provide necessary coastal protection for the property identified as tax map key:  (2) 4-4-001:042, and that it was later determined that a portion of the seawall encumbers state land, with submerged portions.

 

Your Committee also finds that, in September 2010, a final environment assessment for the existing seawall was completed and a finding of no significant impact was issued.  In August 2011, the Board of Land and Natural Resources granted a fifty-five year term, non-exclusive easement to the Association of Unit Owners of Hale Kai Condominium for seawall improvements, subject to certain terms and conditions.  Your Committee further finds that the easement is necessary for the use, maintenance, repair, and removal of the existing seawall.

 

     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. 113 and recommends its adoption.

 

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