(a) The construction and maintenance of an access on a village-owned property must comply with the provisions of this article and with applicable law. The portion of any access constructed on village-owned property is and shall remain for the benefit of the public and shall be village property. Permission from the building inspector to construct or maintain the portion of any access on village-owned property constitutes a nonexclusive, revocable license and shall not convey, transfer, assign, or create any ownership or other substantial property right in or to the village property in favor of any private property owner. The village may revoke such license at any time, in its discretion.
(b) Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the village, maintenance and modifications, such as extensions or repairs, to the portion of any access on village-owned property constructed pursuant to a permit by the building inspector, shall be the responsibility of the private property owner(s) holding such license. If the access is not maintained in conformity with this article and applicable law by the private property owner(s) responsible for such maintenance, the access may be maintained, modified or removed by the village, in its discretion. The cost of removal shall be due and payable by the private property owner(s). Upon obtaining a license from the building inspector, owners of waterfront lots adjacent to village-owned property may connect to an existing access on village property, unless such connection would violate an ordinance or other law, interfere with public uses of the village property, interfere with village plans or uses of the property or constitute a public nuisance.
