Honolulu, Hawaii

                , 2021

 

RE:   H.C.R. No. 89

      H.D. 1

 

 

 

 

Honorable Scott K. Saiki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Thirty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2021

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 89, H.D. 1, entitled:

 

"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF A TERM, NON-EXCLUSIVE EASEMENT COVERING PORTIONS OF STATE SUBMERGED LANDS AT WAILEA, MAUI, TAX MAP KEY:  (2) 2-1-008 FOR BEACH ACCESS STAIRWAY PURPOSES,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose 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 at Wailea, Maui, for beach access stairway purposes.

 

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

 

     Your Committee finds that an existing beach access stairway connecting the Wailea Coastal Walk to the middle part of Ulua Beach in Wailea, Maui, which spans twenty-two square feet, encroaches onto state submerged lands.  Your Committee further finds that the Department of Land and Natural Resources approved a twenty-five year non-exclusive easement to resolve the encroachment.  This measure authorizes the granting of a term, non-exclusive easement, as required by state law, for the portion of identified state submerged lands in Wailea that have been encroached upon by the existing beach access stairway.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 89, H.D. 1, and recommends its adoption.

 

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce,
