The construction, use and maintenance of the Encroachment described and listed in Section 1 shall be in accordance with the laws, rules and regulations of the City of Philadelphia, and specifically those of the Department of Licenses and Inspections, the Department of Streets, and the Art Commission, provided that the Department of Streets, in its sole, unreviewable discretion, may allow minor variations of the dimension limits of Section 1, within standard tolerances of current engineering practice. SECTION 3. Before exercising any rights or privileges under this Ordinance, Owner must first obtain or have their contractor(s) 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, before exercising any rights and privileges under this Ordinance, Owner shall enter into an agreement ("Agreement") with the appropriate City department or departments, satisfactory to the City Solicitor, to provide that Owner, inter alia: (a) Maintains and keeps in good repair and working order the Encroachment to the satisfaction of the Streets Department; (b) Agrees to remove or relocate any or all of the Encroachment of this Ordinance from the public right-of-way within thirty (30) days after lawful service of notice by the City of Philadelphia.

Owner shall also agree to release the City from any and all claims relating to the Encroachment, including if ordered removed or when street, sidewalk or utility construction occurs; (i) Furnishes the City with either a bond with corporate surety in an amount required by the Department of Streets and in a form satisfactory to the Law Department to insure compliance with all the terms and conditions of this Ordinance and the Agreement, or in lieu thereof, submit documentation in a form and content acceptable to the City that Owner self-assumes the liabilities and obligations normally covered by the Surety Bond; (j) Shall adhere to all applicable requirements in The Philadelphia Code, including the requirements set forth in Section 9-208 of the Code; (k) Limits the number of seats in the sidewalk caf� to four (4) seats; and (l) Agrees to manage the sidewalk caf� in a manner that prevents nuisance behavior as that term is defined under Chapter 9-4400 of The Philadelphia Code. SECTION 4. The City Solicitor shall include in the Agreement such other terms and conditions as shall be deemed necessary to protect the interests of the City. SECTION 5. The permission granted to Owner to install, own, and maintain the Encroachment described in Section 1 shall expire without any further action by the City of Philadelphia if Owner has not entered into an Agreement and satisfied all requirements of the Agreement that are listed in Section 3 of this Ordinance within one (1) year after this Ordinance becomes law.
