RESOLUTION

 

 

AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF A TERM, NON-EXCLUSIVE EASEMENT COVERING A PORTION OF STATE SUBMERGED LANDS AT MANELE BAY, LANAI, FOR RENOVATION OF MANELE SMALL BOAT HARBOR.

 

 

     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; and

 

     WHEREAS, Coon Brothers Inc. is a Hawai‘i corporation that owns and operates tour boats between the islands of Maui and Lanai through three subsidiaries collectively known as Trilogy Corporation; and

 

     WHEREAS, Trilogy Corporation began conducting commercial operations from Manele Small Boat Harbor in 1973 in an area that was to become berth 24; and

 

     WHEREAS, in 1993, the Board of Land and Natural Resources and Trilogy Corporation entered into a renewable, thirty-five year lease of 18,000 square feet of undeveloped land adjacent to berth 24; and

 

     WHEREAS, Trilogy Corporation obtained the thirty-five year lease in order to construct a first class pavilion at Manele Small Boat Harbor so that passengers upon arrival from Maui would have shelter from the elements and a comfortable venue for the lunch and entertainment Trilogy Corporation provides as an integral part of its tour packages; and

 

     WHEREAS, in 2005, Coon Brothers Inc. completed a major renovation of the loading dock used by Trilogy Corporation's three vessels; and

 

     WHEREAS, the State of Hawaii and particularly those Trilogy Corporation's employees on Lanai would benefit from the amendment of Boating Lease No.B-93-02 to extend its term for an additional twenty years; and

 

     WHEREAS, as lessee of the loading dock and appurtenant submerged lands, Trilogy Corporation would assume responsibility for maintenance and upkeep of that area and be required to pay fair market lease rent for an area badly in need of repair; now, therefore,

 

     BE IT RESOLVED by the Senate of the Twenty-seventh Legislature of the State of Hawaii, Regular Session of 2013, the House of Representatives concurring, that the Board of Land and Natural Resources is authorized to issue a term, non-exclusive easement covering a portion of state submerged lands identified as tax map key           ; and
