II. If a city or town accepts from the state a class V highway established to provide a property owner or property owners with highway access to such property because of a taking under RSA 230:14, then notwithstanding RSA 229:5, VII, such a highway shall not lapse to class VI status due to failure of the city or town to maintain and repair it for 5 successive years, and the municipality's duty of maintenance shall not terminate, except with the written consent of the property owner or property owners.
