STAND. COM. REP. NO. 1784
Honolulu, Hawaii
RE: H.C.R. No. 89
H.D. 1
Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi
President of the Senate
Thirty-First State Legislature
Regular Session of 2021
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Ways and Means, 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 and intent of this measure is to authorize the issuance of an easement for state submerged lands.
More specifically, this measure authorizes the Board of Land and Natural Resources to issue a term, non-exclusive easement covering a portion of state submerged lands fronting property located at 3600 Wailea Alanui Drive, Kihei, Maui, for a stairway.
Your Committee received written comments in support of this measure from the Department of Land and Natural Resources.
Your
Committee finds that section 171-53, Hawaii Revised Statutes, requires the
Board of Land and Natural Resources to obtain authorization from the Legislature
to engage in disposition of state submerged lands. The Board has identified portions of a stairway
fronting the property identified as Tax Map Key: (2) 2‑1‑008: seaward of 069 at Wailea, Maui, as
encroaching upon state submerged lands.
The current owner of the abutting property has worked with the
Department of Land and Natural Resources to obtain a long-term non-exclusive easement,
as the stairway is located on state submerged lands. Your Committee further finds that this
measure expresses the requisite legislative approval so that an easement may be
issued for the use of those state submerged lands.
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 H.C.R. No. 89, H.D. 1, and recommends its adoption.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
