A. The Mayor may grant a temporary access license for access across Borough land when such access is necessary for construction, resource extraction, or other temporary activities on adjoining land.

B. The temporary access licenses provided for herein in this section shall be subject to such conditions as the Mayor shall consider necessary to ensure the prudent use of Borough resources while allowing access across Borough land.

C. A temporary access license is nonexclusive and is valid for a period no greater than five years from the date of issue. A temporary access license may be reissued with the same conditions, upon application by the licensee, if there are no substantial changes in the projected plan of operations and all conditions of the previous license have been met.

D. The applicant shall pay to the Borough the temporary access license fee required by the fee schedule established by the Mayor.

E. A temporary access license is transferable subject to the written approval of the Mayor and subject to the agreement of the transferee to abide by all terms and conditions of the temporary access license. Within 30 days of receipt of written notification of a transfer, the Mayor shall provide written approval or disapproval. The licensee remains liable for all license conditions until the transfer has been approved or the Mayor receives written notice canceling the license.

F. The licensee shall reimburse the Borough for timber of commercial quality which is used or destroyed by the licensee on Borough land. The amount of reimbursement shall be determined by the Mayor based upon accepted forestry practices for the appraisal of timber value.

G. The Mayor may inspect the Borough land at any time to ensure compliance with conditions of the license.

If a licensee fails to demonstrate good faith efforts to comply with the conditions of the license, and after receiving written notice, fails to remedy such default within the time specified in the notice, the Mayor may revoke the license upon 30 days’ notice, and require the posting of a bond before issuing a new license.
