SECTION 2. Before exercising any rights or privileges under this Ordinance, Nella Genovese 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, Nella Genovese 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, Nella Genovese will absorb all costs and expenses for the performance of such work at no cost to the City;

(e) insure that the sixteen (16) tables for the open air sidewalk cafe encroach no more than the maximum of approximately four feet (4'-0") onto the south footway of Kater Street adjacent to 614 S. 7th 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 Law Department; and

SECTION 3. The Law Department shall include in the Agreement such other terms and conditions, as shall be deemed necessary or appropriate in the interest of the City.

SECTION 4. The permission granted to Nella Genovese to maintain and operate an open air sidewalk café on the south footway of Kater Street shall expire without any further action by the City of Philadelphia if Nella Genovese 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.
