I Lane study area appeared at some of these events. The majority of <br />2 people from Stallings Lane who appeared expressed objections to <br />3 being included in the proposed UGB expansion. Coburg must plan <br />4 for properties becoming available on a regular basis over time. <br />5 The process will not work if the current property owners, or <br />6 replacement property owners who have purchased an operating <br />7 farm, do not wish to give up that lifestyle for urban residential <br />8 uses. If there is a significant delay in properties in the area <br />9 becoming available then Coburg will not be able to meet its need <br />10 over the next twenty years. If Coburg were to include only the <br />11 properties along Stallings Lane and these properties did not <br />12 become available for years, Coburg would have failed its <br />13 responsibilities to actually provide for reasonable residential <br />14 growth. Given the evidence in the record, Coburg had no choice <br />15 except to consider that these properties would not be available." <br />16 Record 748 (footnote omitted). <br />17 Petitioners contend that if property owner opposition to urbanization is <br />18 sufficient to render candidate exception lands "inadequate" under ORS <br />19 197.298(1), the ORS 197.298 priority scheme will not work as the legislature <br />20 intended. Presumably that is because at least some of the residents of rural <br />21 exception lands will always prefer to retain the rural residential nature of their <br />22 properties. Moreover, petitioners argue, the record does not support <br />23 respondents' speculation that property owner opposition will mean that land <br />24 will not be redeveloped to meet higher density residential land needs if the land <br />25 is brought into the UGB. Petitioners additionally dispute that the level of <br />26 opposition in Area 5 is as significant as respondents suggest and point out that <br />27 past failures to redevelop lands brought into the UGB are not predictive of the <br />28 future, since the city did not even have a sewer system until a few years ago. <br />29 Finally, the record includes a study that petitioners contend demonstrates that <br />Page 32 <br />
