I am writing to voice my support for Ka'upulehu Land LLC's proposed subdivision of their 5+ acre
property at Pu'ukapu Homesteads in Waimea. I have known John Metzler, the owner of this property,
for many years and I am familiar with the quality projects he has built over his 50+ years of doing
business here. With that as a guide, 1 can safely say that this subdivision will be well planned,
beautifully designed, completed on time and will have the best interests of the community as it's
ultimate purpose.
Our young people are currently faced with a serious shortage of housing options, and most would like
to have the ability to contribute to the community by providing agricultural products at the many
wholesale and retail outlets in the area.
This suggests that rather than pasture land, which is seems to be the default usage these days, this
project has been designed to be affordable enough for our young families while offering enough space
for a range of intensive agricultural activities. The existing homes there already compliment Waimea's
upcountry charm, and it has been assured that any new homes there will also be designed and built to
honor this traditional style.
Mahalo,
Teresa Kennedy
