APPROVING THE DEDICATION OF LEALI‘I PARKWAY, LAHAINA, HAWAII, TO THE COUNTY OF MAUI.
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 the following:
"The 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 (Corporation) proposes to transfer the fee interest in Leali‘i Parkway, Lahaina, Hawaii, and provides the following information pursuant to section 171-64.7, Hawaii Revised Statutes:
(1) The parcel is a roadway identified as a 134,045 square foot parcel, TMK No. 2-4-5-36-112;
(2) The fee interest in this parcel was appraised to have a fair market value of $1;
(3) The parcel was appraised by ACM Consultants, Inc.;
(4) The appraisal valuation date is July 24, 2017;
(5) The primary purpose for the transfer of this parcel is to dedicate the roadway to the County of Maui;
(6) There is no development plan for this roadway; and
(7) As of August 15, 1895, the parcel was a portion of the Government (Crown) Land of Wahikuli; the Corporation's predecessor agency, the Housing Finance and Development Corporation, acquired title to the property through Land Patent Grant No. S-15,792, dated November 4, 1994; and this was determined by a search of the title records for this parcel by Title Guaranty of Hawaii on October 21, 2015; and
WHEREAS, the Corporation will work with the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands and the County of Maui to finalize the dedication of the parkway; 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 this Concurrent Resolution to the Office of Hawaiian Affairs on September 29, 2017, more than three months prior to the opening date of the Regular Session of 2018; and
WHEREAS, the Corporation duly conducted a public informational briefing on the dedication of this parcel on August 24, 2017, at the Lahaina Civic Center Social Hall, Lahaina, Hawaii, following publication of notice of the briefing in The Maui News newspaper on August 15 and 17, 2017, and The Lahaina News newspaper on August 17, 2017; and
WHEREAS, relevant public comments made at the public informational briefing questioned the County of Maui's ability to maintain Leali‘i Parkway, and development in Lahaina generally, but did not object to the dedication of the roadway to the County of Maui per se; now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED by the Senate of the Twenty-ninth Legislature of the State of Hawaii, Regular Session of 2018, the House of Representatives concurring, that the dedication of Leali‘i Parkway, Lahaina, Hawaii, TMK No. 2-4-5-36-112, to the County of Maui is hereby approved; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that certified copies of this Concurrent Resolution be transmitted to the Executive Director of the Hawaii Housing Finance and Development Corporation, Chairperson of the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands, and Chairperson of the County Council of Maui.
