3
Prior to the sale of the UNIT, the DIRECTOR shall approve the sales price (as

AGREEMENT by the OWNER, the CITY may give written notice thereof to the OWNER
by registered or certified mail addressed to the OWNER at the address stated in this
Regulatory Agreement, or to such other address as may have been designated by the
