The right of eminent domain for the purpose of securing terminal facilities on any waters of this state, including a sufficient amount of land for such facilities, shall be subordinate to the right of the governmental entity wherein the property is located to condemn such property through the exercise of its powers of eminent domain for a public purpose.
