A group that called themselves "Friends of Lake Five" sued the county of Flathead after a resort owner was granted a land use permit to develop land at Lake Five. The developer of the land began construction on "Whistlestop Retreat" before they were granted a permit. The developer eventually got the permit to develop from Flathead, but the lawsuit was won by the Friend's of Lake Five. The presiding judge granted a permanent injunction and ruled that the land had to be restored to condition at purchase. Many structures had to be demolished.[6]
