In an area opened to the staking of remote recreational cabin sites, the first applicant to stake a remote recreational cabin site and file a valid lease application has priority over later, conflicting lease applications. The lease application must be accompanied by payment of the lease application fee and the first rental payment, along with

1. (1) the first quarter's deposit toward the department's survey, platting, and appraisal costs for the site; or
2. (2) a cash performance bond of $1,000 to ensure the lessee's completion of survey, platting, and appraisal of the site, if the department determines that offering this option is in the state's best interest, and if the applicant chooses it.
