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. I am familiar with the quality projects he has
built over his 50+ years of doing business here. 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.
We are cognizant of the challenges our young people are currently faced with and a
serious shortage of housing options is at the top of the list. We are confident that 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 pastureland, which seems to be the default usage, this
project has been designed to be affordable enough for our young families. It will also
offer enough space for a range of intensive agricultural activities. The existing homes
there already compliment Waimea's upcountry charm. We are assured that any new
homes there will also be designed and built to honor this traditional style.
My warmest aloha,
