To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing to in support of Ka'upulehu Land LLC's proposed subdivision of their 5+ acre property at Pu'ukapu
Homesteads in Waimea. As a long-time resident of Waimea and architect, I have known John Metzler, the owner
of this property, for many years and I am familiar with the projects he has built. He has high standards of quality
and craftsmanship and I believe this subdivision will be well planned and designed to fit the urgent needs of the
community.
Our community is faced with a serious shortage of housing options. This subdivision is perfectly situated to convert
under -used pasture land into affordable housing options, while offering enough space for a range of intensive
agricultural activities.
Importantly, we understand new homes will be designed and built to honor Waimea's traditional upcountry
character.
Sincerely,
Dan Dzakowic
