Going north to south, that portion of each pillar which occupies the public way measures 0.68, 0.59, 0.25, 0.93, 1.00, and 0.72 square feet. Total area of all of said pillars is 4.17 square feet.

2.      To construct and maintain a concrete step projecting 1 foot 1 inch into the west, 15-foot wide sidewalk area of South 32^nd Street. Said 5-foot 10-inch long step is approximately centered at the southline of West Orchard Street extended.

Said items shall be used, kept and maintained to the satisfaction of the Commissioners of Public Works and Department of Neighborhood Services.

Said items shall be maintained or removed from the public right-of-way, at such future time as they are no longer needed, to the satisfaction of the Commissioners of Public Works and Department of Neighborhood Services.

5. Pay to the City Treasurer an annual fee, which has an initial amount of $35.00. The subsequent annual fee is subject to change pursuant to the annual fee schedule in effect at the time of annual billing.
