The state Department of Land and Natural Resources is planning to build a new, nearly $5.7 million replacement administration building on an acre in Wailuku and next to The Maui News offices.
According to a draft environmental assessment preparation notice from consultant Limtiaco Consulting Group, the department's current Maui administration building at 120 Mahalani St. was built in 1959 and "has approached the end of its useful life."
"There are observable structural deficiencies in exposed interior and exterior building elements, including severe termite and wood moisture damage . . . vertical cracks and spalls on masonry walls and corroded steel support beams," the notice says. "Sewer, water, electrical and telecommunication components are outdated and do not meet current building code requirements."
Originally built in 1959 as a juvenile detention center, the Department of Land and Natural Resources Maui office in Wailuku has suffered from severe cracks and damage to its structure over the years. The state department plans to replace the office with a nearly $5.7 million administration building, according to notice for the preparation of a draft environmental assessment.

It also notes inadequate space in the building occupied by personnel from the department's divisions of Aquatic Resources, State Historic Preservation and Engineering.
"Construction of a new facility would allow DLNR to provide adequate space for its current operations and improved site security and infrastructure," the notice says. "A new facility also affords the opportunity to relocate (the department's) Land Division from its deficient office in the State Building and provide them ample office and document storage space."
Aside from The Maui News, other neighbors include the Maui Community Mental Health Center, the Cameron Center and Maui Memorial Medical Center.
The project is at the beginning of its environmental review process, which will address environmental, social and economic impacts of the proposed new building. The project's timeline calls for completing the draft environmental assessment in March, with completion of the environmental review process in July. Construction may begin as early as the spring of 2016.
The new building would be energy efficient and fully accessible to people with disabilities, the preparation notice says.

Q: What steps do you recommend taking to lower home-energy costs?
A: The Puget Sound areas mild, maritime climate makes it an ideal spot for drastically lowering your power consumption at home.
According to a recent study by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, the average energy bill for a typical single-family American home is approximately $2,200 per year.
But by following these tips and making smart choices, many local homeowners can come very close to eliminating their home-energy bills.
The first step is to lower your homes requirements for heating, cooling and lighting. This means carefully sealing and insulating the shell of your home.
A typical house leaks 475 cubic feet of air per minute (CFM) enough to fill a hot-air balloon in less than three hours. Todays most-efficient homes leak only 68 CFM.
Properly placed high-performance windows let in the warming rays of the sun in the winter, are shaded in the summer and can provide natural ventilation.
Another energy-saving choice is to install water-saving appliances and ultralow showerheads. Hot water equals energy down the drain, so this is important for reducing energy usage.
Once you have lowered your energy usage as much as is practical for your family and your lifestyle, the next step is install efficient equipment and systems.
While it may not be feasible to replace everything at once, you can make small changes that help.

Orange Regional Medical Center wants to add a new office building on its site, located at 707 E. Main St. in the Town of Wallkill.JOHN DeSANTO/Times Herald-Record
Published: 2:00 AM - 01/19/14
TOWN OF WALLKILL Orange Regional Medical Center is hoping to build a new, $40 million office building next to its hospital on East Main Street.
According to an application ORMC filed seeking an Empire State Development grant, the building would be 120,000 square feet. It would house doctors' offices, medical treatment space and "retail health care services." Eateries, flower and book shops, pharmacies and day spas are all mentioned as possibilities in the application.
The building would include a fitness center that would be used for patient and rehabilitative therapy, but would also be open to the public and offer memberships, like a regular gym. This center, the application says, would feature health-education classes and access to personal trainers, as well as standard exercise equipment.
"We are exploring numerous opportunities, including cancer services, outpatient services, a medical fitness center and on-campus housing for medical students," Scott Batulis, ORMC's president and CEO, said in an emailed statement. "Developing the site is complex and requires detailed engineering, traffic, soil and architectural studies that will take six months, or more, to complete."
ORMC was seeking $8 million from the state; the application says the hospital had intended to chip in $4 million and get $28 million in private financing. In December, Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced that it would receive $750,000 in this round of Regional Economic Development Council funding.
Hospital spokesman Rob Lee said ORMC isn't currently planning to apply for any additional grants, but "that could change if other opportunities arise."
The application says the project could create almost 500 construction jobs and more than 450 permanent health care and office jobs when the building is done.
