Dear Howard:
This acknowledges receipt, of your letter of the
20th, requesting our opinion as to whether or not it
would be possible to comply with the request of Model
Neighborhood, Inc. as set forth in your,letter.
You are correct that the State law requires that
urban redevelopment land be sold for not less than the
fair value for uses in accordance with the urban redevelop-
Of course, the fair value is a question of fact
and not of law. The price was established by the Commis-
Sioners based on two professional appraisals for the uses
of the property in accordance with the plan. It would
appear that the only way the price could be reduced would
be to determine that the appraisals were in error and have
the property reappraised. There is the further possibility
that you can place certain restrictions on the property,
or change the use to a less valuable use and thereby lower
the price. Therefore, unless you change the uses on the
property or obtain other appraisals, I see no way that the
