Ms. O'Connell stated she could not respond to the question. <br /> <br />Chair Cote asked about the use of blue by the store. <br /> <br />Ms. Darcy Winter, realtor representing the applicant, stated that the blue is Wal- <br />Mart's corporate color. <br /> <br />Chair Cote shared Commissioner Chamber's concerns with the Commission. <br /> <br />Chair Cote stated he had contacted the Maple Grove regarding Quick-brick on <br />the Edina Realty building.
