RE: S.C.R. No. 30
S.D. 1
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirty—Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2023
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Housing, to which was referred S.C.R. No.
30, S.D. 1, entitled:
“SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING EACH COUNTY TO ADOPT
AN ORDINANCE REQUIRING, AS A CONDITION OF ITS APPROVAL OF A
SUBDIVISION OR ISSUANCE OF A BUILDING PERMIT FOR ANY NEW
STRUCTURE OR UNIT WITHIN A STRUCTURE, THE SUBDIVIDER OR
DEVELOPER TO OBTAIN ASSURANCE OF MAIL DELIVERY TO EACH
PARCEL,”
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to request each county to
adopt an ordinance requiring, as a condition of its approval of a
subdivision or issuance of a building permit for any new structure
or unit within a structure, the subdivider or developer to obtain
assurance of mail delivery to each parcel.
Your Committee did not receive any written testimony on this
measure.
Your Committee finds that certain property development
projects in the State lack a sufficient number of post office
boxes and cluster box units to serve all residents in rural areas.
This causes residents to have to drive over an hour to retrieve
their mail from family or friends residing within the United
States Postal Service’s service area. Your Committee further
2023—3265 SCR3O SD1 HSCR HMSO
 STAND. CON. REP. NO.
finds that existing county ordinances do not require subdividers
or developers to ensure that each lot, parcel, structure, or unit
of a structure located within a subdivision or development project
has a street address and mailbox. This measure seeks to ensure
that all residents are able to receive mail at their place of
residence rather than through other, inconvenient means.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Housing that is attached to this report, your
Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 30,
S.D. 1, and recommends that it be referred to your Committee on
Water & Land.
Respectfully submitted on
behalf of the members of the
Committee on Housing,
14A.
