The proposed 156-room Hotel Wailuku is on the agenda of two county panels this week, with the developer seeking comment on its draft environmental assessment for the project.
First up is the Urban Design Review Board, which meets at 10 a.m. Tuesday to discuss design aspects of the six-story hotel planned on property near Market and Main streets and Maluhia Drive in Wailuku town. Present will be consultant Michael Munekiyo of Munekiyo Hiraga Inc. on behalf of developer Supreme Bright Wailuku LLC.
Then at 6 p.m. Thursday, the Maui Redevelopment Agency convenes for a special meeting to discuss the draft assessment, which covers proposed work within the public rights-of-way in several locations to widen Maluhia Drive and install waterline and sanitary sewer line upgrades.
The Hotel Wailuku’s draft EA is available at the Office of Environmental Quality Control website.
