(1) When such temporary permit is utilized by a permittee in connection with forage-producing lands owned or controlled by such permittee within or near the district for a period of any combination of 4 years out of 5, then the forage-producing lands owned or controlled by such permittee may be considered dependent commensurate property and, upon application, the district may accordingly grant such permittee membership and preference in the district providing an application had been made for temporary rights for each of the 5 years.
     (2) However, such temporary permits shall at all times be merely privileges granted from year to year, and their possession shall in no event establish a preference right unless such preference right be expressly granted by the district and in the manner herein provided.
