If a historic easement or right-of-way for access to private land exists across county land, the person owning the private land may purchase the nonexclusive easement as a permanent, nonexclusive easement. The board of county commissioners shall sell a permanent, nonexclusive easement upon receipt of the fair market value of the easement and proof of the existence of the easement or right-of-way and the purpose and proposed purchaser's use of the nonexclusive easement.
