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 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, 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 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,
