RMG <br />HAWAII <br />VIA E-MAIL TO — Planning@hawaiicounty.gov <br />March 14, 2023 <br />Leeward Planning Commission <br />Hawaii County Planning Department <br />101 Aupuni Street, Suite 3 <br />Hilo, Hawaii 96720 <br />RE: Letter of Support <br />Ka'upulehu Land LLC — Subdision of Lot 11-A, Pu'ukapu Homesteads 1st Series Kamuela, <br />District of South Kohala TMK: (3) 6-4-024:027 <br />To Whom It May Concern: <br />I am writing in support for the Ka'upulehu Land LLC's proposed subdivision of their 5+ acre <br />property at Pu'ukapu Homesteads in Kamuela. As a resident and business owner in Waimea, it <br />has been a challenge to recruit and maintain our employees due to the lack of affordable <br />housing. The Pu'ukapu Homestead Project will help alleviate the tremendous housing shortage <br />that our families and workforce face. <br />I have known and worked with John Metzler for several decades and he has been a responsible <br />steward of the land and a developer of great projects. I am confident that John and his Team <br />will provide a well-balanced and thought-out master planned component to our Waimea <br />community. <br />As a member of the Polynesia Voyaging Society and crewmember on the Hokulea, it is these <br />types of projects that will encourage our children and future generations to stay in Hawaii and <br />hopefully perpetuate and continue our unique culture and traditions. <br />Accordingly, we hope that the County of Hawaii Planning Commission and Department <br />supports Pu'ukapu Homesteads and votes in favor of this much needed development. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Maximus Yarawamai <br />Resort Management Group, LLC. <br />P.O.
