STAND. COM. REP. NO. 2885

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    S.C.R. No. 208

       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 S.C.R. No. 208 entitled:

 

"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE GOVERNOR TO AMEND EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 3665 THAT SET ASIDE LANDS FOR A GOLF COURSE AND TO RE-DEDICATE THOSE LANDS FOR A REGIONAL PARK,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to request the Governor to amend Executive Order No. 3665 that set aside lands for a golf course and to re-dedicate those lands for a regional park.

 

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

 

     In 1995, Governor Cayetano signed Executive Order No. 3665 to develop a county golf course in North Kona.  Despite diligent efforts, the County of Hawaii has been unable to secure a developer for the golf course.  Since 1995, a golf course has been developed only one and a half miles from the site referred to in Executive Order No. 3665.  Your Committee finds that there is broad community support for a regional park in the area, and that the lands originally set aside for a golf course by Executive Order No. 3665 should be re-designated for a regional park. 

 

     Your Committee has amended the measure by making technical, nonsubstantive changes for the purposes of clarity and consistency.

 

     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 S.C.R. No. 208, as amended herein, and recommends its adoption in the form attached hereto as S.C.R. No. 208, S.D. 1.

 

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