RE: Ka'upulehu Land LLC-- Subdision of Lot 1 1-A, Pu'ukapu Homesteads 1st Series Kamuela, District of South Kohala
TMK: (3) 6-4-024:027
To Whom It May Concern:
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 over 30 years and I am familiar with
the quality projects he has built over his 50+ years of doing business in Hawaii. 1 first met John when he was building
workforce housing projects in the Kohala area. Since then, his business expanded and is focused on commercial and
high-end residential projects in West Hawaii. I have no doubt that this subdivision will be well planned, beautifully
designed, completed on time and will be in the best interest of the community.
Our young people are currently faced with a serious shortage of housing options, and many would like the ability to
contribute to the community by providing agricultural products at the many wholesale and retail outlets in the area.
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 any
new homes there will also be designed and built to honor this traditional style.
Respectfully,
w�
