I have known John Metzler, the owner of this property, for over 30 years and I am familiar with <br /> the quality projects he has built over his 50+ years of doing business in Hawaii. 1 first met John when he was building <br /> workforce housing projects in the Kohala area. Since then, his business expanded and is focused on commercial and <br /> high-end residential projects in West Hawaii. I have no doubt that this subdivision will be well planned, beautifully <br /> designed, completed on time and will be in the best interest of the community. <br /> Our young people are currently faced with a serious shortage of housing options, and many would like the ability to <br /> contribute to the community by providing agricultural products at the many wholesale and retail outlets in the area. <br /> This project has been designed to be affordable enough for our young families while offering enough space for a range <br /> of intensive agricultural activities. The existing homes there already compliment Waimea's upcountry charm, and any <br /> new homes there will also be designed and built to honor this traditional style. <br /> Respectfully, <br /> w� <br /> 1.•P4 <br />
