Councilmember Herrera Spencer stated that she would like to know the size of the storage area; Greenway Golf will have more area than just the tower at no additional cost, which is important to be clear about; there is a demand for storage space in Alameda; she has not seen a cost for the murals versus the value of the land; typically, when a tenant receives additional land, more is paid; ; expressed support for an equation subtracting the value of the additional land, ; stated the City's property is not a gift to Greenway Golf.
