Look up the definition of hydroplane

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/hydroplane

A number of authoritative sources say that hydroplane
may mean "seaplane", or more precisely,
"an airplane that can land on or take off from water".

I guess the way the law is written it could be interpreted by
a law enforcement officer to suit either situation.
It would then be left up to a court to decide what the
intention or spirit of the law was when it was written.

Well, I don't think there is much question about the intent, since the
regulation in question is under the "CHAPTER 5 AIRCRAFT AND AIRPORTS"
section. It's obvious that they weren't referring to the boat type of
hydroplane.

Here's the full text:

"It shall be unlawful for any person to operate a hydroplane upon any
reservoir or any lake belonging to under control of the city; provided
however, that this section shall not apply to amphibian-type aircraft of any
department of the federal government or of the State of Texas. (Ord. Nos.
8213; 14384)"

Here's the code:

Oddly enough, the Code of Ordinances does not have a "Definitions" chapter.
