Re: interstate commerce
You ned to see an attorney on this one. As much as i like working with lawguru.com, this is a zoning issue, an air rights issue, a possible governmental taking issue... its far too heavy for on-line free help!
Re: interstate commerce
This is a very interesting question. The answer, assuming the question of whether it has an impact on interstate commerce is relevant, depends upon several factors beyond the scope of your questions. Are you near the state border? Do sea planes have the range of reaching the state border? Has anyone ever arrived at your establishment on a sea plane from out of state? This question implicates many other potential issues as well. For instance, are there any other people who use the lake in this manner or are you the only one?
