RESOLUTION
APPROVING THE TRANSFER OF THE LEASED FEE INTEREST IN A PORTION OF 610 COOKE STREET, HONOLULU, HAWAII, TO THE CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU.
WHEREAS, section
171-64.7, Hawaii Revised Statutes, requires the prior approval of the
Legislature by concurrent resolution to sell certain state lands in fee simple;
and
WHEREAS, section
171-64.7(c), Hawaii Revised Statutes, states that "[t]he concurrent
resolution shall contain the following information:
(1) The specific location and size in square feet
or in other precise measure of the parcels of land to be sold or given;
(2) The appraisal value of the land to be sold or
given;
(3) The names of all appraisers performing
appraisals of the land to be sold or given;
(4) The date of the appraisal valuation;
(5) The purpose for which the land is being sold
or given;
(6) A detailed summary of any development plans
for the land to be sold or given; and
(7) A statement of whether the land is, or is not,
land that was classed as government or crown lands previous to August 15, 1895,
or was acquired by the State in exchange for such lands, and a detailed
explanation of how the state department or agency made this determination.
A draft of the
concurrent resolution for the prior approval of a sale or gift of land shall
also be submitted to the office of Hawaiian affairs at least three months prior
to the convening of a regular or special session of the legislature to allow
the office to determine whether the land was classed as government or crown
lands previous to August 15, 1895, or was acquired by the State in exchange for
such lands"; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to
section 171-64.7(e), Hawaii Revised Statutes, prior to finalizing any proposal
for the sale or gift of lands and prior to the submission of the concurrent
resolution to the Legislature, an informational briefing on the proposed sale
or gift of lands shall be held in the community where the land to be sold or
given is located; and
WHEREAS, the Hawaii
Housing Finance and Development Corporation (the "Corporation")
desires to transfer the fee interest in a portion of 610 Cooke Street,
Honolulu, Hawaii, and provides the following information pursuant to section
171-64.7, Hawaii Revised Statutes:
(1) The parcel is a portion of the site of Na Lei
Hulu Kupuna Senior Apartments, identified as a 6,937 square foot parcel, TMK
No. 1-2-1-051:004;
(2) The fee interest in this parcel was appraised
to have a fair market value of $210,000;
(3) The parcel was appraised by Medusky & Co., Inc.;
(4) The appraisal valuation date is April 15,
2018;
(5) The primary purpose for the proposed transfer
of this parcel is as part of a land exchange with the City and County of
Honolulu for their fee interest in a portion of Coral Street between Pohukaina
Street and Halekauwila Street, Honolulu, Hawaii, to
facilitate roadway access to the Corporation's planned mixed-use development in
conjunction with the Department of Education at 690 Pohukaina Street, Honolulu,
Hawaii, which will include a public elementary school. The concept and strategy is to maintain the
limited roadway access as open green space.
However, due to anticipated high use during pick-up and drop-off times
of the school day, the Department of Education will study the most appropriate
type of paving or street covering in terms of durability and maintenance;
(6) The conveyance will be subject to the existing
sub-lease to Na Lei Hulu Kupuna Senior Rentals, LP, which extends until
December 12, 2082, and will not affect existing rental operations; and
(7) As of August 15, 1895, title to a portion of
this parcel, identified as Parcel 6B-1, Government Remnant, was held by the
Territory of Hawaii, and title to the remainder of the parcel was covered by
Royal Patent Number 4483, Land Commission Award Number 7712, Apana 6, Number 1,
held by the Trustees Under the Will and of the Estate of Bernice Pauahi Bishop,
Deceased, as devised by the Last Will and Testament of Bernice Pauahi Bishop
probated in the Supreme Court of the Hawaiian Islands in Probate Number 2425;
and this was determined by a search of the title records by Title Guaranty of
Hawaii on January 2, 2018; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to
section 5(f) of the Admission Act, "the development of farm and home
ownership on as widespread a basis as possible for the making of public
improvement" is an expressly authorized purpose of the ceded lands
inventory; and
WHEREAS, the
Corporation duly submitted a draft of the Concurrent Resolution to the Office
of Hawaiian Affairs on September 27, 2019, more than three months prior to the
opening date of the Regular Session of 2020; and
WHEREAS, the
Corporation duly conducted a public informational briefing on the dedication of
this parcel on July 18, 2019, at the Corporation
Boardroom, 677 Queen Street, Suite 300, Honolulu, Hawaii, following publication
of notice of the briefing in The Honolulu Star-Advertiser newspaper on June 27,
2019, and July 11, 2019; and
WHEREAS, the
Corporation did not receive any public comments objecting to the proposed
transfer at the public informational briefing; now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED by the
House of Representatives of the Thirtieth Legislature of the State of Hawaii,
Regular Session of 2020, the Senate concurring, that the transfer of the leased
fee interest in a portion of 610 Cooke Street, Honolulu, Hawaii, TMK No.
1-2-1-051:004, to the City and County of Honolulu is hereby approved; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED
that a certified copy of this Concurrent Resolution be transmitted to the
Executive Director of the Corporation.
