RE: S.C.R. No. 6
S.D. 1
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2024
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Water & Land, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 6, S.D. 1, entitled:
"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION APPROVING THE DEDICATION OF KUKUIA STREET, LAHAINA, HAWAII, TO THE COUNTY OF MAUI,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to approve the dedication of Kukuia Street, Lahaina, Hawaii, to the County of Maui.
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Department of Land and Natural Resources; Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism; Hawaii Housing Finance and Development Corporation; and one individual.
Your Committee finds
that Land Patent Grant No. S-15,792, issued on November 4, 1994, conveyed over five
hundred acres of undeveloped land to the predecessor agency of the Hawaii Housing
Finance and Development Corporation for the development of the Villages at
Lealiʻi housing
project in Lahaina. Your Committee further
finds that following the completion of housing developments, land is
historically dedicated to a county that will be in charge of maintaining the
land. Your Committee finds that
historically a dedication of land to a county represents a conveyance of lands
from the Department's inventory and, as such, is subject to legislative
approval by concurrent resolution under section 171-64.7, Hawaii Revised
Statutes.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Water & Land that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 6, S.D. 1, and recommends that it be referred to your Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Water & Land,
