	Do any of you Florida guys know if you <br />can land seaplanes on lake maitland <br />,,a relative of my son's wife is getting <br />married at the raquet club there and <br />was looking for someone to fly him <br />and the best man to the <br />wedding,,which rules out a searey as lwe <br />need an extra seat for that

	The answer is complex. The City of Maitland's map shows the northern one-third of the Lake within its limits. That City prohibits seaplane landings.<P>The City of Winter Park surrounds the southern portion of the Lake, but the boundary map I found does not include the Lake. Nevertheless the City prohibits "regular" use of the Lake for seaplane operations, but does this prohibit a one-time landing?<P>I would pass on this location.<!-- >'"><br><font color=red size=6>' or > missing in user HTML.

	If you land on Lake Maitland or Winter Park Lakes, you will talk to the police.


	Winter Park lakes are fine for 'non regular landings' (I believe is what it says). I frequent <br />Lake Killarney and used to go to Lake Sue several times a month. I've never had an issue <br />with Winter Park, but I have never messed with Lake Maitland. I suppose if you land on the <br />WP side you'd technically be okay. Personally, I wouldn't do it, but, call and ask Maitland <br />and WPPD.

	I put in a call to Winter Park police and am waiting for a response from some guy <br />that patrols the lake


	Two SR's in formation.

	talked to the cop that patrols the lake and he said no way- so the wedding will have to go on without a seaplane entrance- such a shame


	Did he say why?

	Who did you talk to? Most city employees are unfamiliar with the lake rules or even the terminology. Plane landings in the Winter Park lakes are very rare, so the easy answer of no probably because they never heard of it being done. What date are you looking for?

	I talked to a Officer Hawkins- not sure of the spelling- the wedding is November 30. He was <br />pretty adamant that the town ordinance for both towns forbids seaplanes.


	I would suggest speaking to someone who really knows the ordinances...I don't see why you can't land <br />on the winter park side for a drop off. A friend of mine landed his Kolb there at his house years ago and <br />the officer wrote him a ticket. The make of the vehicle....'full lotus' :'D

	Ha! <br /><br />I rented a Vespa in Rome a long time ago in the name of 'Must Wear Glasses,' the most prominent printing on my Pennsylvania driver's license back then. The guy addressed me as 'Signore Must.' I signed the bill 'Must W. Glasses.' <br /><br />I was really temped not to return the Vespa just because of thinking about the guy reporting it to the police: <br /><br />'What's his name?'

	It's Dawkins. I'll talk to him. Get with me off line and we'll go through some ideas.


	Kevin, try and get a hold of Dave Martin. He is building a Searey and most important he is a seasoned officer with Winter Park PD and might be a point of contact instead of someone that does not know anything about a Searey. It might be still the same response due to the city ordinances but he can better explain.

	Winter Park Racquet Club had a wedding today with a Cub on Floats bringing someone in. (The groom I think) The pilot hired for the flight had "Left the area" before we arrived. (according to the bride) A reading of the ordinance did not show a violation occurred by being in the Winter Park Portion of Lake Maitland. I thought it was you that landed....


	I think I know who it was :X
