  • SOR/93-401, s. 2

3 For the purposes of these Regulations, the airport reference point is deemed to be 2,276 feet above sea level.

Application

4 These Regulations apply to all the lands and lands under water, including public road allowances, adjacent to or in the vicinity of the airport, the outer limits of which lands are described in Part II of the schedule, other than such lands as from time to time form part of the airport.

General

5 No person shall erect or construct on any land or any land under water to which these Regulations apply, any building, structure or object or any addition to any existing building, structure or object, the highest point of which will exceed in elevation at the location of the highest point any of the surfaces hereinafter set out that project immediately over and above the surface of the land at that location, namely,

  • (a) the approach surfaces;

  • (b) the outer surfaces; or

  • (c) the transitional surfaces.

PART IIDescription of Outer Limits of Lands

Being two lines drawn parallel to, on opposite sides of and perpendicularly distant thirteen thousand (13,000) feet from the centre line of the runway designated 13R-31L and productions thereof and two lines drawn perpendicular to the said centre line from points distant ten thousand (10,000) feet measured northerly and southerly from the strip ends along the said centre line and productions thereof excluding thereout and therefrom Indian Reserve No. 8, being Lot 226, Group 5, Plan 24100 (C.L.S.R.), which outer limits are shown on Department of Transport Plan No. E.1012, dated January 19, 1972.

PART IIIDescription of Approach Surfaces

Being a surface abutting each end of the strips associated with the runways designated 13L-31R, 13R-31L and 18-36, and more particularly described as follows:

  • (a) a surface abutting the end of the strip associated with runway approach 13L consisting of an inclined plane having a ratio of one (1) foot measured vertically to fifty (50) feet measured horizontally rising to an imaginary horizontal line drawn at right angles to the projected centre line of the strip, two hundred (200) feet measured vertically above the elevation at the end of the strip and ten thousand (10,000) feet measured horizontally from the end of the strip, the outer ends of the imaginary horizontal line being two thousand (2,000) feet from the projected centre line,

  • (b) a surface abutting the end of the strip associated with runway approach 13R consisting of an inclined plane having a ratio of one (1) foot measured vertically to fifty (50) feet measured horizontally rising to an imaginary horizontal line drawn at right angles to the projected centre line of the strip, two hundred (200) feet measured vertically above the elevation at the end of the strip and ten thousand (10,000) feet measured horizontally from the end of the strip, the outer ends of the imaginary horizontal line being two thousand (2,000) feet from the projected centre line,
