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, Starbuck’s Coffee Company shall enter into an agreement (“Agreement”) with the appropriate City department(s), in a form satisfactory to the City Solicitor, which shall:

(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 sidewalk cafe necessitates relocation and/or removal of any underground structure, either publicly or privately owned, Nathan Ross and Samuel Lynagh will absorb all costs and expenses for the performance of such work at no cost to the City;
(e)
insure that the six (6) tables and four (4) free standing umbrellas for the open air sidewalk cafe encroach no more than a maximum of approximate five feet (5’) onto the west footway of Thirty-fourth street adjacent to the property 3401 Walnut street;
(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 City Solicitor;
(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 City Solicitor from the owner(s) of the property 3401 Walnut street, Philadelphia, PA 19104, that such owner(s) has no objection to the Starbuck’s Coffee Company, as a tenant of 3401 Walnut street, operating and maintaining an open air sidewalk café adjacent to the property 3401 Walnut street, Philadelphia, PA 19104.
SECTION 3.
The City Solicitor shall include in the Agreement such other terms and conditions, as he shall deem necessary or appropriate in the interest of the City.
