[Spacecadets] Sublet Proposals

[Christopher A W Zapotocky]

I think we should consider just using the spare chairs that we have in the core. I think we have a number of extras that don't get used. We can consider other choices later once we have exhausted the current supply of chairs. Just my thought on the issue.

"I'm leaning towards keeping the $2/sqft number in the new storage area (so renting a 3x4 bench would cost $24/mo, and renting a 2x4 spot to store your plywood would cost $16/mo)."

For those that are looking to rent a bench, would they need to bring their own, or would we want to look at providing a bench (at an appropriate rate)? I ask this, because some very nice benches go through Bentley's and sometimes can be acquired very reasonably. Or, as an alternative, build a long ben, loosely something like in the PFUDOR and partition off sections, similar to library study cubicles, but wider.

Greetings Space Cadets!

I've been going over the old spacecadets discussions, based on the proposals brought to the directors from the original run (back when we moved in and had to clean up all the fake blood).  I'd like to distill what we think is good and what we think is bad from these, and come up with usage policies that will help us afford the new space we're hoping to rent out.

Back then the sublet proposals were for $2/sqft for areas not on the ground floor (Fortress of Solitude and where MMF is currently renting) and 'more' for space on the ground floor.  More was never determined, but was assumed to be a dollar or so more per square-foot.  Additionally, Rooms 1 and 7 were optioned for member rental as they had the best opportunities for security (only one or two doors to be locked... and #1 has the external door for... purposes).

To be eligible for member rental, the members in question would have to be auto-paying members who had been in good standing (ie paid on time) for a few months (the last draft was 6mo), or pay-in-advance members who were paid up for a couple months.

There have been calls to release more rooms in the main campus for member rental at or below $2/sqft.  There have been requests for bench rental (exclusive use) and there have been requests for storage above and beyond your 36-gal plastic tub.

To address those requests, here's my suggestion for the structure of the storage rental.  Right now, I'm leaning towards keeping the $2/sqft number in the new storage area (so renting a 3x4 bench would cost $24/mo, and renting a 2x4 spot to store your plywood would cost $16/mo).  I haven't measured all the rooms that people are interested in renting in either of the areas, so I don't know if $2/sqft is a reasonable price.  We've made it such that you can't rent the Core for more than a day or two (event), so our concern about people taking up all the floor space for a month in the largest room in the space is no longer a concern.

Here's this in more legalese.
