I have known John Metzler, the owner of this property, for nearly 20 years and I am familiar <br />with the high-quality projects he has built over his 50+ years of doing business here in Hawaii. I have personally been <br />involved on several of his projects over the years, and I can with all confidence say that this subdivision will be well <br />planned, beautifully designed, built with the highest quality and completed on time. Over the years of knowing John <br />Metzler, he has always had the best interests of the community as it's ultimate purpose. <br />Here in Hawaii and abroad, our young people are currently facing a more serious shortage of housing options than in <br />past years, and most would like to have the ability to contribute to the community by providing agricultural products at <br />the many wholesale and retail outlets in our region. <br />This suggests that rather than pastureland, which is seems to be the default usage these days, this project has been <br />designed to be affordable enough for our young families while offering enough space for a range of intensive agricultural <br />activities. The existing homes there already compliment Waimea's upcountry charm, and it has been assured that any <br />new homes there will also be designed and built to honor this traditional style. <br />Mahalo, <br />Tony Stefanik <br />President <br />
