HI SCR25

Authorizes the Board of Land and Natural Resources to issue a 55-year term lease and non-exclusive easement for approximately 25 square feet of state submerged lands in the Manele-Hulopoe Marine Life Conservation District on Lanai for tide pool stairs encroachment purposes.

Tide pool stairs were originally constructed by the International Longshore and Warehouse Union during the 1951 Lanai pineapple strike, reconstructed in 2006 with a guard rail, and qualify as a non-conforming use established prior to October 1, 1964.

Pulama Lanai (operating as Lānai Resorts, LLC) provided a $250,000 security deposit and CAD survey map as conditions for the lease approval, which was granted by the Board of Land and Natural Resources on June 13, 2014.

Legislature authorization is required under Hawaii Revised Statutes section 171-53(c) for leasing state submerged lands and lands beneath tidal waters.
