SANDPOINT — A 1st District judge declined Friday to grant a preliminary injunction to stop the state from using the latest round of appraisals to set cottage site lease payments at Priest Lake.

The Idaho Department of Lands board sought to use the appraisals to set lease payments, minimum bids and establish the value of lessees’ improvements to the cottage sites.
