This license is revocable by the Town in whole or in part at any time with or without cause upon written notice to the Owner. Upon such revocation, the area of the right of way comprised of the Landscaped Areas shall (to the extent of the revocation) become the responsibility of the Town and may be modified by the Town in the Town's sole discretion. 7. The Town shall not be responsible or liable for any damage to property, or injury to persons, arising from the claim of any person during the installation of the Improvements. By undertaking the Improvements, the Owner shall be deemed to have agreed to indemnify and hold the Town harmless with respect to any costs or damages, including, without limitation, the Town's costs of enforcement of this license, and reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, arising from the claim of any person alleging personal injury or damage to property as a result of (a) the installation or condition the Improvements prior to the Town's approval thereof, and (b) the condition of the Landscaped Areas with respect to the maintenance of the Landscaped Areas so long as the license remains in effect. Ms. Power seconded. All were in favor, 3-0.” (Motion: Johnson, second: Power)
