        WHEREAS, portions of the existing rubble rock revetment, rock wall, and two concrete stairways identified as Tax Map Key: (2) 3-9-005:001, Kamaole Beach lots, Kamaole, Kula, Maui, were placed on state submerged lands; and

 

        WHEREAS, the subject encroachments were discovered during a routine site inspection of two revocable permits between the State and the Association of Apartment Owners of Hale Pau Hana (AOAO); and

 

        WHEREAS, one of the revocable permits authorized a rubble rock revetment on state submerged land (state lands makai of the certified shoreline) and the other revocable permit authorized landscaping on state fast land (state lands mauka of the certified shoreline); and

 

        WHEREAS, upon reviewing the existing revocable permits, the Department of Land and Natural Resources (Department) determined that the most appropriate disposition for the subject encroachments and fast lands (landscaped area) would be a fifty-five-year term non-exclusive easement; and

 

        WHEREAS, the Office of Conservation and Coastal Lands of the Department indicated they had no objection to the retention of the existing rubble rock revetment, rock wall, and two concrete stairways, and that no Conservation District violations existed with regard to the previously authorized structure; and

        WHEREAS, the subject rubble rock revetment, rock wall, two concrete stairways, and landscaped area encumber an area of 18,668 square feet, with roughly half that area being submerged lands and the other half of that area being fast lands, as reviewed and approved by the Department of Accounting and General Services' Survey Division; and

 

        WHEREAS, the Legislature's approval is only being requested for the submerged portion of the easement; and

 

        WHEREAS, on March 10, 2011, under agenda item D-4, the Board of Land and Natural Resources approved the issuance of a fifty-five-year term, non-exclusive easement to the AOAO; and

 

        WHEREAS, the grantee has paid the fair market value of the 18,668 square feet non-exclusive easement area of $291,000, as determined by independent appraisal; and

 

        WHEREAS, section 171-53, Hawaii Revised Statutes, requires the prior approval of the Governor and prior authorization of the Legislature by concurrent resolution to lease state submerged lands; now, therefore,
