Let's carry your example a step (or maybe a couple of steps) further:
One of the perimeter property owners manufactures automobiles and the
property owner in the center decides that he wants to import cheaper,
better automobiles and gets an agreement with one of the other
perimeter property owners to dock and transport the automobiles
across his perimeter parcel to the importer's central parcel. Why
should this change the equation and give the other property owners
the right to demand a fee on the imported automobiles?
