Rental Space/Member Storage
Determine how much storage is free for full and part time members

or, Use the parking ticket system that Brant was suggesting
Are there different space rental prices for full or part time members?
A discount in storage price for full time members may encourage full time membership (and hence more making!)
Cost per square foot for 'squares' or areas w/o walls
Does this include extra pallet storage? - (4'*3.3'=13.3 sq')
How and where to keep track of non-standard square pricing and physical location (i.e. with a map hung in the office)
Cost per square foot for vaults
How to prevent spread of materials out of 'squares'
One-third height cube walls could work, but may be anti-community, as they look like walls.

Will all squares be located in one room, and the other remain empty?
