<br />Hi Natalie,
<br />I wanted to provide some context for my previous question regarding the distribution of the virtual hearing information
<br />After the city’s notice was sent out, one of the adjacent neighbors came to our home with the notice in hand and entered the house without permission before speaking with us in a confrontational manner Since then, flyers have also been left at several nearby homes stating that the project could negatively impact property values and
<br />encouraging others to get involved
<br />Because of this, it appears there may be an effort to bring in individuals who are outside the city’s official notification radius for the project
<br />Looks like they have friends in HoA and got it broadcasted through an email to the entire distribution list The below text was sent out in email to all residents of the community yesterday !
<br />I wanted to clarify one concern regarding the upcoming virtual hearing My understanding is that the city’s notification requirement applies to neighbors within the specified radius (390 / 500 feet) of the property
<br />I am concerned that sharing the meeting information more broadly may result in participation from individuals who are not within the notification radius My worry is that this could unintentionally lead to unnecessary crowding or disruption during the hearing
<br />If it is not legally required to notify or include neighbors outside the designated radius, I would respectfully request that the meeting information be shared only with those residents who fall within the required notification area This may help ensure the hearing remains focused and orderly
<br />Kindly let me know
<br />Thank you
<br />Shrihari

<br />Hi Natalie,
<br />May I know which neighbor requested this information before it is shared? Please do not get me wrong I ask because we had a difficult experience after the city sent out the notice to neighbors
<br />One of the neighbors came to our home with the notice in hand My elderly mother, who is visiting us, opened the door, and before we could come to the door, the person entered the home without permission or asking my mother and began yelling things like “Are you crazy?” at my wife for trying to extend the home They
<br />created a scene in front of my children and my mother and did not respond to my repeated requests to calm down The person also said things such as, “We will hire a lawyer and you will have to pay for our lawyer too You will see,” and then left slamming our front door hard
<br />Because of that experience, I would not feel comfortable sharing my personal contact information with that individual or engaging with them directly, as I am unsure what kind of behavior to expect The only reason I did not pursue a police report at the time was because we ultimately have to continue living in the same
<br />community I do have Ring camera recordings showing the person arriving with the notice and leaving a few minutes later after the incident
<br />I am perfectly fine sharing my contact number with other neighbors Any neighbor (except Ekaterina Utova and her spouse, Alex Utov, from ) may contact me at + outside of office hours, preferably after 5:30PM and before 8PM, and I would be happy to explain the project and answer any
<br />questions If it is them who wanted the number, I have to think about it
