BACKGROUND:
Due to an error during construction of the traffic signal located at Sandhill Road and Viking Road, a traffic signal pole intended to be constructed in the County's right-of-way was partially constructed on a portion of the Assessor's Parcel Number 161-18-410-001 (the "Portion").
The mutual compromise, settlement and release agreement will compensate Owners (Edouard P. Karam, Marie Karam, and Jean Edward Karam) for the County's infringement upon the Portion. The Portion has been conveyed to the County via a Dedication In Fee document adjusting right-of-way boundaries to align with the traffic signal improvement.
The parties (Clark County and Owners) desire to avoid litigation by settling any and all claims, disputes, demands, causes of action, and any and all other matters arising from or in any way related to the Portion, and desire to release each other from any and all potential liability pursuant to the terms and conditions of the settlement agreement.
The District Attorney's Office recommends acceptance of the settlement, that is reasonable, justified, and would be in the best interest of Clark County.
