(e) insure that the thirteen (13) tables for the sidewalk cafe encroach on the east footway of Broad Street and the north curbline of Moyamensing Avenue 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;
