STAND. COM. REP. NO. 2694

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    S.C.R. No. 73

 

 

 

Honorable Colleen Hanabusa

President of the Senate

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2010

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committees on Water, Land, Agriculture, and Hawaiian Affairs and Transportation, International and Intergovernmental Affairs, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 73 entitled:

 

"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING AUTHORIZATION TO ENTER INTO A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF GENERAL AVIATION LOTS AT THE KONA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT AT KEAHOLE, ISLAND OF HAWAII,"

 

beg leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to authorize the Board of Land and Natural Resources to enter into a development agreement for the development of general aviation lots at the Kona International Airport at Keahole on the island of Hawaii. 

 

     Testimony in support of the measure was submitted by one state agency.  Written testimony presented to the Committees may be reviewed on the Legislature's website.

 

     Section 171-60, Hawaii Revised Statutes, permits the Board of Land and Natural Resources, with the prior approval of the Governor and authorization by the Legislature, to lease public lands to a private developer, for the development and subdivision of lands as a leasehold project for industrial, commercial, or business purposes.  The Department of Transportation supports the development of general aviation lots at the Kona International Airport at Keahole on the island of Hawaii, and seeking the Legislature's approval is the first step the Department has taken toward this goal.  Your Committees find that a development agreement may provide a mechanism to develop the property in an expedited manner using private resources.

 

     As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Water, Land, Agriculture, and Hawaiian Affairs and Transportation, International and Intergovernmental Affairs that are attached to this report, your Committees concur with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 73 and recommend that it be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Water, Land, Agriculture, and Hawaiian Affairs and Transportation, International and Intergovernmental Affairs,
