Hawaii, 96720 <br />Re: Ka'upulehu Land LLC -Subdivision of Lot 11-A, Pu'ukapu Homesteads 1St Series <br />Kamuela, District of South Kohala TMK (3) 6-4-024:027 <br />To Whom It May Concern: <br />I am writing to voice my support for Ka'upulehu Land LLC's proposed subdivision of <br />their 5+ acre property at Pu'ukapu Homesteads in Waimea. I have known John Metzler, <br />the owner of this property, since March of 1987. I am familiar with the quality projects <br />he has built over his 50+ years of doing business on the Big Island. My company has <br />participated in 125 of these projects. There is no work that is okay. Work is correct or it <br />is re -done. With that as my guide, I know that this subdivision will be well planned, <br />beautifully designed, completed on time and will have the best interests of the community <br />as it's ultimate purpose. <br />Our young people are currently faced with a serious shortage of housing options, and <br />most would like to have the ability to contribute to the community by providing <br />agricultural products at the many wholesale and retail outlets in the area. <br />This suggests that rather than pasture land, which seems to be the default usage these <br />days, this project has been designed to be affordable enough for our young families while <br />offering enough space for a range of intensive agricultural activities. The existing homes <br />there already compliment Waimea's upcountry charm, and it is assured that any new <br />homes will be designed and built to honor this traditional style. Thank you for your <br />consideration of this project. Mahalo. <br />Sincerely Yours, <br />John H. Watterson <br />March 16, 2023 <br />
