RE: Ka'upulehu Land LLC—Subdivision 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 nearly 20 years and I am familiar
with the high-quality projects he has built over his 50+ years of doing business here in Hawaii. I have personally been
involved on several of his projects over the years, and I can with all confidence say that this subdivision will be well
planned, beautifully designed, built with the highest quality and completed on time. Over the years of knowing John
Metzler, he has always had the best interests of the community as it's ultimate purpose.
Here in Hawaii and abroad, our young people are currently facing a more serious shortage of housing options than in
past years, 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 our region.
This suggests that rather than pastureland, 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,
Tony Stefanik
