I have known John Metzler, the owner of <br /> this property, for many years and I am familiar with the quality projects he has built over his <br /> 50+years of doing business here. With that as a guide, I can safely say that this subdivision will <br /> be well planned, beautifully designed, completed on time and will have the best interests of the <br /> community as it's ultimate purpose. <br /> Our young people are currently faced with a serious shortage of housing options, and most <br /> would like to have the ability to contribute to the community by providing agricultural products <br /> at the many wholesale and retail outlets in the area. <br /> This suggests that rather than pasture land, which is seems to be the default usage these days, <br /> this project has been designed to be affordable enough for our young families while offering <br /> enough space for a range of intensive agricultural activities. The existing homes there already <br /> compliment Waimea's upcountry charm, and it has been assured that any new homes there will <br /> also be designed and built to honor this traditional style. <br /> Mahalo, <br /> 16L <br /> truce Kumove <br />
