RE: S.C.R. No. 3
S.D. 1
Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi
President of the Senate
Thirty-Third State Legislature
Regular Session of 2025
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Water and Land, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 3 entitled:
"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF A PERPETUAL, NON-EXCLUSIVE EASEMENT COVERING A PORTION OF STATE SUBMERGED LANDS AT MAUNALUA, HONOLULU, OAHU, FOR THE STORMWATER MANAGEMENT OUTFALL AND DRAINAGE SYSTEM, AND FOR USE, REPAIR, AND MAINTENANCE OF THE IMPROVEMENTS CONSTRUCTED THEREON,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose and intent of this measure is to authorize the issuance of a perpetual, non-exclusive easement for the portion of state submerged lands fronting the property identified as tax map key: (1) 3-9-003: seaward of 028, Maunalua, Honolulu, Oahu, for the stormwater management outfall and drainage system, and the use, repair, and maintenance of existing improvements constructed thereon, pursuant to section 171-53(c), Hawaii Revised Statutes.
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Department of Land and Natural Resources and one individual.
Your Committee finds that, pursuant to section 171-53, Hawaii Revised Statutes, the Board of Land and Natural Resources may lease submerged lands with the prior approval of the Governor and the prior authorization of the Legislature by concurrent resolution. Your Committee further finds that on February 9, 2018, the Board of Land and Natural Resources, subject to conditions, approved a grant of a perpetual, non-exclusive easement to resolve the encroachment of the stormwater management outfall and drainage system identified in this measure. Your Committee concludes that the easement is necessary for the use, repair, and maintenance of the existing stormwater management outfall and drainage system.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Amending the title to reflect that the requested easement is to be issued to the City and County of Honolulu; and
(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity and consistency.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Water and Land that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 3, as amended herein, and recommends that it be referred to your Committee on Ways and Means, in the form attached hereto as S.C.R. No. 3, S.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Water and Land,
