May 2018 HILLSDALE NOTEBOOK (Continued from Page 1) before going over the association ground rules, purpose, and agree- ments. “This is a safe space to voice con- cerns, raise questions, have a mul- titude of voices,” Knapp said. “The purpose of our association is to make Hillsdale a better place to live and work.” Natalia Bronner, a 14-year resident of Hillsdale, spoke up first. She had submitted a motion regarding the as- sociation’s position on the infill plan. “I learned about the Residential Infill Project in January,” she said. “I had thought it was only a Multnomah neighborhood issue. I had never heard anything about this from this neigh- borhood association so I decided to do some research.” Bronner said she received a variety of comments from other neighbor- hood associations. “I felt it was overlooked by the Hill- sdale [Neighborhood] Association,” she said. Bronner said she had tried to con- nect with the group with no luck. She then drew up a petition opposing the Residential Infill Project. Almost 70 people signed the petition, many chas- ing her down. Three were undecided and one for, leaving 64 opposed to the project. “This would be the most significant change in Hillsdale in a generation,” she said. “It would impact the quality of life and burden the infrastructure. The HNA approved RIP without NEWS proper vetting.” However, a letter dated March 31, from the Hillsdale board to Bronner, cleared up the matter of the associa- tion’s support. “Though there have been multiple meetings relating to this issue,” the letter stated, “many within the HNA have expressed personal opinions. We have combed our records and have not located any documentation of a formal position on the Residential Infill Project. “There has been some element of confusion [regarding] discrepancies between the memories of members and the written record,” the letter con- tinued. “Without documentation, the Hillsdale Neighborhood Association has no formal stance on the Residential Infill Project.” Nevertheless, Bronner submit- ted a motion with several requests. The motion included a statement in opposition to the Residential Infill Project, posting a public notice on the neighborhood’s website and in the Southwest Neighborhood News, the coalition’s newsletter. Bronner also wants Hillsdale to pri- oritize the project discussion at future meetings and improve community involvement. She also wants to see an analysis of the project’s impact on infrastructure and livability, and work with Hillsdale activists to provide all necessary sup- port to oppose proposed changes. According to the by-laws, adequate notice to Hillsdale members and resi- dents is required. Longtime member Rick Seifert re- The Southwest Portland Post • 3 minded the group that usually these issues are “seasoned” for a month after these are brought up at meetings to get all opinions. A motion was passed to discuss the Residential Infill Project at the May 2 meeting. The group adjourned after some additional discussion.
