Mr. Coda noted that the conditions of approval restricted their delivery hours to the same as the store hours. Ms. Decker noted that Condition No. 28 stated that no truck deliveries would be allowed between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. Mr. Coda noted that Home Depot scheduled deliveries, and Home Depot or outside vendors would not be allowed in until the allowed hours. The vendors would realize that they needed to adhere to the delivery schedule.

Commissioner Blank noted that on May 24, 2006, Mr. Coda indicated that the current store generated $45 million of revenue per yeaz and that too many clients went into the store because of customer service; the business model indicated that the store was overloaded.
