                     (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, 801 Last Resort, Inc. will absorb all costs and expenses for the performance of such work at no cost to the City;

 

                     (e)                     insure that the five (5) tables encroaching three feet  (3’) onto the east footway of North Third street and five (5) tables encroaching three feet (3’) onto the north footway of Brown street encroach 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; and

 

                     (g)                     remove the open-air sidewalk cafe within thirty (30) days upon service of lawful written notice from the Streets Department.
