RESOLUTION N0, 97 93
(Draft 2)
WHEREAS, Hawaii, an island state, is surrounded by bountiful
pristine coastal waters and a fragile marine environment; and
WHEREAS, the demand for recreational boating storage space in
or near the water is exceeding the supply of mooring and marina
slip facilities within our island state; and
WHEREAS, the State Department of Transportation has a waiting
list of over 2,600 for berthing or mooring facilities; and
WHEREAS, because of this great economic interest and potential
for the expansion of the marine industry with boat building repair
and related products and service, there is a need for the
development of marina facilities; and
WHEREAS, limited state funds, high construction costs of
marina development, and the lack of available public lands near to
coastal water makes the opportunity for publicly funded
recreational berths to be unrealistic and marina development to
most likely occur on privately owned lands usually in
environmentally sensitive areas; and
WHEREAS, the Office of State Planning is in the process of
completing its final draft for evaluation guidelines for private
marina development and it would be in the County of Hawaii's best
interest that the State proceed a step further to make
recommendations on suitable sites for marina development.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED HY THE COUNCIL OF THE COUNTY OF
HAWAII that the State's Office of State Planning, the Department
of Land and Natural Resources-Division of Boating and Ocean
Recreation, and the Department of Transportation, fund and conduct
a study with the County of Hawaii to determine and recommend
suitable sites for marina development including boat launch ramps,
dry-stack boat storage and other related facilities.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the County of Hawaii
transmit copies of this resolution to the Honorable John Waihee,
Governor of the State of Hawaii; Senator James Aki, President of
the Senate, State of Hawaii; Senator Andrew Levin; Senator Richard
Matsuura; Senator Malama Solomon; Representative Joseph Souki,
Speaker of the House, State of Hawaii; Representative Jerry Chang;
Representative Robert Herkes; Representative Virginia Isbell;
Representative Larry Tanimoto; Representative Harvey Tajiri;

Planning; Director of the Department of Land and Natural
Resources, Division of Boating and Ocean Recreation; Director of
