(b) The court shall designate the place of the deposit, but the sum shall be refunded to the petitioners if the public landing is established and paid for out of county funds.
(c) Whenever deposits have been made in compliance with the order of the court or judge, it shall be lawful for the public, prior to the assessment and payment of damages for the land, to enter upon and use the land as a public landing.
