DE REUS <br />SUN VALLEY HAWAI'I MAUI <br />March 8, 2023 <br />Leeward Planning Commission <br />Hawaii County Planning Department <br />101 Aupuni Street, Suite 3 <br />Hilo, Hawaii 96720 <br />Via Email: Planning@hawaiicounty.gov <br />RE: Ka'upulehu Land LLC — Subdivision of Lot 11-A, Pu'ukapu Homesteads 1st Series Kamuela, District of South <br />Kohala TMK: (3) 6-4-024:027 <br />To Whom It May Concern: <br />I am writing to in support of Ka'upulehu Land LLC's proposed subdivision of their 5+ acre property at Pu'ukapu <br />Homesteads in Waimea. As a long-time resident of Waimea and architect, I have known John Metzler, the owner <br />of this property, for many years and I am familiar with the projects he has built. He has high standards of quality <br />and craftsmanship and I believe this subdivision will be well planned and designed to fit the urgent needs of the <br />community. <br />Our community is faced with a serious shortage of housing options. This subdivision is perfectly situated to convert <br />under -used pasture land into affordable housing options, while offering enough space for a range of intensive <br />agricultural activities. <br />Importantly, we understand new homes will be designed and built to honor Waimea's traditional upcountry <br />character. <br />Sincerely, <br />Dan Dzakowic <br />Partner <br />de Reus Architects, Inc. <br />SUN VALLEY 171 East 2"d Street, Ketchum, Idaho 83340 (208) 928-7750 <br />HAWAI'I 65-1291 Kawaihae Road, Suite 105, Kamuela, Hawai'i 96743 (808) 885-6222 <br />MAUI 10 Wailea Gateway Place, B105, Kihei, Maui, Hawai'i 96753 (808) 666-5389 <br />www.dereusarchitects.com <br />
