RE: Ka'upulehu Land LLC — Subdision of Lot 11-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 show 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. After working with John on multiple projects, I 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 its 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 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.
Sincerely,
oi/
