Content Body

The Federal 3rd District Court of Appeals has denied a Florida real estate developer’s bid to use a floating helipad originally built for President Richard Nixon in Key Biscayne. Nixon owned a vacation home there during his presidency. The helipad violates local ordinance; however, Nixon’s use was protected under federal law. The Court ruled that once the federal government abandoned the helipad, jurisdiction reverted to the local government.
