STAND. COM. REP. NO. 3188

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    H.C.R. No. 36

       S.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Colleen Hanabusa

President of the Senate

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2010

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committee on Water, Land, Agriculture, and Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 36 entitled:

 

"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION APPROVING THE FEE SIMPLE SALE OF TWO VACANT PARCELS IN HOKULELE, KANEOHE, HAWAII,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to authorize the sale of two state-owned vacant parcels in Hokulele, Kaneohe, Hawaii.

 

     Testimony in support of the measure was submitted by one state agency.  Testimony in opposition to the measure was submitted by one state agency.  Written testimony presented to the Committee may be reviewed on the Legislature's website.

 

     Your Committee finds that the two vacant parcels at issue are part of the undeveloped hillside of the adjacent Hokulele residential subdivision and are located, in part, beneath the H-3 Freeway in Kaneohe, Hawaii.  Due to the existing easements, irregular shape, topography, and location of the parcels, the most probable development plan is the development of one single-family dwelling unit.  The primary purpose of the sale of these parcels is to eliminate from the Hawaii Housing Finance and Development Corporation's inventory those properties, such as the subject parcels, that are unsuitable for residential development.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by:

 

     (1)  Including the purpose of the sale of the parcels;

 

     (2)  Specifying the intended development plans for the parcels, in accordance with section 171-64.7, Hawaii Revised Statutes;

 

     (3)  Clarifying the details of the development proposals for the parcels that will be sought using the Request for Proposals procurement method;

 

     (4)  Indicating that the purpose for the provision reserving the right to transfer all or a portion of the parcels to the Department of Transportation is for maintenance easement purposes;

 

     (5)  Clarifying the language in the provision regarding objections to the sale of the parcels;

 

     (6)  Including a provision specifying that a copy of the measure was submitted to the Office of Hawaiian Affairs and the date of the submission, in accordance with section 171-64.7, Hawaii Revised Statutes; and

 

     (7)  Making technical, nonsubstantive changes for purposes of style, consistency, and clarity.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Water, Land, Agriculture, and Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 36, as amended herein, and recommends its adoption in the form attached hereto as H.C.R. No. 36, S.D. 1.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Water, Land, Agriculture, and Hawaiian Affairs,
