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.

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.
The Hillsdale Neighborhood Association
meets at 6:45 p.m. the first Wednesday of
every month at St. Barnabas Episcopal
Church, 2201 SW Vermont St.
