The ten (10) tables that will accommodate twenty (20) occupants will be on the Midvale avenue face of the building and no rails will be used. The first table is located approximately twenty-three feet (23') north of the north curb line of Ridge avenue and the last table approximately fifty-one feet (51') north of the north curb line of Ridge avenue. SECTION 2. Before exercising any rights or privileges under this Ordinance, Johnny Mañanas Restaurant must first obtain all required permits, licenses and approvals from all appropriate departments, boards, agencies or commissions. No such department, board, agency or commission shall be required to issue any such permit, license or approval solely because this Ordinance has been enacted, it being the express intent of this Ordinance not to supersede any other provision of law governing the issuance of such permits, licenses or approvals. In addition, Johnny Mañanas Restaurant shall enter into an agreement ("Agreement") with the appropriate City department(s), in a form satisfactory to the Law Department, which shall: (a) furnish the City with a bond with corporate surety in the amount required by the Streets Commissioner and in a form satisfactory to the Law Department to insure compliance with all of the terms and conditions of this Ordinance and the aforementioned agreement; (b) protect, indemnify and save harmless the City from all suits or claims for damages which may arise directly or indirectly as a result of the open-air sidewalk cafe; (c) comply with the provisions of The Philadelphia Code thereby securing all required permits, licenses and approvals from all appropriate departments, boards, agencies or commissions, as may be required; (d) agree in writing that when, at the determination of the City of Philadelphia, the open-air sidewalk cafe necessitates relocation and/or removal of any underground structure, either publicly or privately owned, Johnny Mañanas Restaurant will absorb all costs and expenses for the performance of such work at no cost to the City; (e) insure that the ten (10) tables for the open-air sidewalk cafe encroach on the east footway of Midvale avenue no more than the dimensions listed in Section 1, provided that the Streets Department, in its sole unreviewable discretion, may allow minor variations of the dimension limits of Section 1, within standard tolerances of current engineering practice; (f) carry public liability and property damage insurance co-naming the City of Philadelphia as an insured party in such amounts as shall be satisfactory to the Law Department; (g) remove the open-air sidewalk cafe within thirty (30) days upon service of lawful written notice from the Streets Department; and (h) submit documentation in a form acceptable to the Law Department from the owners of the property located at 4201 Ridge Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19129, that they have no objection to Johnny Mañanas Restaurant operating and maintaining an open-air sidewalk café on said property.

The permission granted to Johnny Mañanas Restaurant to maintain and operate an open-air sidewalk café on the east footway of Midvale avenue shall expire without any further action by the City of Philadelphia if Johnny Mañanas Restaurant has not entered into the Agreement and satisfied all requirements of the Agreement that are listed in Section 2 within one (1) year after this Ordinance becomes law.
