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)
submit documentation in a form acceptable to the City Solicitor that the owner of the property located at 3749-51 Midvale Avenue has no objection to Sally Ferry operating and maintaining an open air sidewalk café on the footways adjacent thereto;
(e)
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, Sally Ferry will absorb all costs and expenses for the performance of such work at no cost to the City;
(f)
insure that the eight (8) tables for the open air sidewalk cafe encroach no more than a maximum of approximately eight feet (8’) onto the west footway adjacent to 3749-51 Midvale Avenue;

remove the open air sidewalk cafe within thirty (30) days upon service of lawful written notice from the Streets Department.
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.
SECTION 4.
The permission granted to Sally Ferry to maintain and operate an open air sidewalk cafe on the west footway of Midvale Avenue, adjacent to the property 3749-51 Midvale Avenue, shall expire without any further action by the City of Philadelphia if Sally Ferry has not entered into the Agreement and satisfied all requirements of the Agreement within one (1) year after this ordinance becomes law.
