Approving The Dedication Of Kukuia Street, Lahaina, Hawaii, To The County Of Maui.
Impact
The resolution aims to formalize the dedication of Kukuia Street to facilitate local governance and infrastructure management by the County of Maui. This transfer represents an important administrative step to ensure that the local government can take responsibility for the upkeep and management of the street. Given that Kukuia Street is considered a vital roadway for community access, its dedication could enhance local public services and transportation systems in the region.
Summary
House Concurrent Resolution 8 (HCR8) addresses the dedication of Kukuia Street, a 1.962-acre parcel in Lahaina, Hawaii, to the County of Maui. This dedication is mandated by section 171-64.7 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes, which requires legislative approval for the sale or transfer of certain state lands. The Hawaii Housing Finance and Development Corporation has proposed this transfer with no development plans associated with the roadway, which has been appraised to have a fair market value of $1.
Contention
The related public informational briefing indicated that while there was opposition to the development of adjacent Fleming Road Extension, there were no objections to the dedication of Kukuia Street itself. This suggests that while community concerns exist regarding broader infrastructural projects in Lahaina, the specific dedication of Kukuia Street is seen as a necessary and non-contentious action, thereby facilitating a smoother legislative process.
