transitional surface

transitional surface means an imaginary inclined plane extending upward and outward at a ratio of 7 feet measured horizontally to 1 foot measured vertically from the outer lateral limits of a strip and its approach surface to an intersection with the horizontal surface or other transitional surfaces, which transitional surfaces are shown on Plan No. T2557, dated February 28, 1969, on record in the Department of Transport at Ottawa. (surface de transition)

3 For the purposes of these Regulations, the airport reference point is deemed to be 611 feet above sea level.

General

5 Subject to section 6, no person shall erect or construct, on any land 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 horizontal surface;

• (b) the approach surfaces abutting each end of the strips designated as 04-22 and 11-29 and extending outward therefrom, the dimensions of which approach surfaces are five hundred (500) feet on each side of the centre line of the strips at the strip ends and two thousand (2,000) feet on each side of the projected centre line of the strips at the outer ends, the said outer ends being two hundred (200) feet above the elevations at the strip ends and measured horizontally ten thousand (10,000) feet from the strip ends; or

• (c) the transitional surfaces.

6 A person may erect or construct any building, structure or object or any addition to any existing building, structure or object, the highest point of which will not exceed in elevation the elevation at that point of any approach surface or transitional surface referred to in section 5 that projects immediately over and above the surface of the land at that point but will exceed in elevation the elevation at that point of the horizontal surface, if the highest point of such building, structure or object or addition to such existing building, structure or object, will not extend more than thirty feet (30) above the surface of the land at that point.

Natural Growth

7 Where an object of natural growth on any land to which these Regulations apply exceeds in elevation any of the surfaces set out in paragraphs 5(a) to (c), the Minister may make a direction that the owner or occupier of the land on which that object is growing remove the excessive growth thereof.
