P.C. 1988-186 1988-02-04

Whereas, pursuant to section 4.5 of the Aeronautics Act, a copy of the proposed Zoning Regulations respecting Churchill Airport, substantially in the form set out in the schedule hereto, was published in two successive issues of the Canada Gazette, Part I, on August 22nd and 29th, 1987 and in two successive issues of the Thompson Citizen on October 9th and 13th, 1987 and a reasonable opportunity was thereby afforded to interested persons to make representations to the Minister of Transport with respect thereto.

Therefore, Her Excellency the Governor General in Council, on the recommendation of the Minister of Transport, pursuant to section 4.4 of the Aeronautics Act, is pleased hereby to make the annexed Regulations respecting Zoning at Churchill Airport.

  • SOR/92-86, s. 2(F)

General

4 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 that point

  • (a) the approach surfaces;

  • (b) the outer surface; or

  • (c) the transitional surfaces.

  • SOR/92-86, s. 3(F)

Natural Growth

5 Where an object of natural growth on any land to which these Regulations apply exceeds in elevation any of the surfaces referred to in paragraphs 4(a) to (c), the Minister may require that the owner or occupier of the land on which that object is growing remove the excessive growth.

  • SOR/92-86, s. 4(E)

SCHEDULE(Sections 2 and 3)

PART IDescription of the Airport Reference Point

The airport reference point shown on Churchill Airport Zoning Plan No. E2244 dated October 23, 1986, is a point being the mid point on a line drawn between the mid points of runways 07-25 and 15-33 with 6° U.T.M. grid coordinates of Northing 6 511 764.202 m and Easting 438 254.808 m.

PART IIDescription of the Approach Surfaces

The approach surfaces, shown on Churchill Airport Zoning Plan No. E2244 dated October 23, 1986, are surfaces abutting each end of the strips associated with the runways designated 07-25 and 15-33 and are described as follows:

  • (a) a surface abutting the end of the strip associated with runway approach 07 consisting of an inclined plane having a ratio of 1 m measured vertically to 40 m measured horizontally rising to an imaginary horizontal line drawn at right angles to the projected centre line of the strip and distant 3 000 m measured horizontally from the end of the strip; the outer ends of the imaginary horizontal line being 525 m from the projected centre line; said imaginary horizontal line being 75 m measured vertically above the elevation at the end of the strip;

  • (b) a surface abutting the end of the strip associated with runway approach 25 consisting of an inclined plane having a ratio of 1 m measured vertically to 40 m measured horizontally rising to an imaginary horizontal line drawn at right angles to the projected centre line of the strip and distant 3 000 m measured horizontally from the end of the strip; the outer ends of the imaginary horizontal line being 525 m from the projected centre line; the said imaginary horizontal line being 75 m measured vertically above the elevation at the end of the strip;

  • (c) a surface abutting the end of the strip associated with runway approach 15 consisting of an inclined plane having a ratio of 1 m measured vertically to 50 m measured horizontally rising to an imaginary horizontal line drawn at right angles to the projected centre line of the strip and distant 15 000 m measured horizontally from the end of the strip; the outer ends of the imaginary horizontal line being 2 400 m from the projected centre line; said imaginary horizontal line being 300 m measured vertically above the elevation at the end of the strip; and

  • (d) a surface abutting the end of the strip associated with runway approach 33 consisting of an inclined plane having a ratio of 1 m measured vertically to 50 m measured horizontally rising to an imaginary horizontal line drawn at right angles to the projected centre line of the strip and distant 15 000 m measured horizontally from the end of the strip; the outer ends of the imaginary horizontal line being 2 400 m from the projected centre line; said imaginary horizontal line being 300 m measured vertically above the elevation at the end of the strip.

PART IIIDescription of the Outer Surface

The outer surface, shown on Churchill Airport Zoning Plan No. E2244 dated October 23, 1986, is an imaginary surface located at a common plane established at a constant elevation of 45 m above the elevation of the airport reference point, except that, where that common plane is less than 9 m above the surface of the ground, the outer surface is an imaginary surface located at 9 m above the surface of the ground.

  • (b) the strip associated with runway 15-33 is 300 m in width, 150 m on each side of the centre line of the runway and 2 924 m in length.

PART VDescription of Each Transitional Surface

Each transitional surface, shown on Churchill Airport Zoning Plan No. E2244 dated October 23, 1986, is a surface consisting of an inclined plane having a ratio of 1 m measured vertically to 7 m measured horizontally at right angles to the centre line and projected centre line of each strip and extending upward and outward from the lateral limits of each strip and its approach surface to an intersection with the outer surface or another transitional surface of an adjoining strip.

PART VIDescription of the Outer Limits of Lands

The boundary of the outer limits of lands, shown on Churchill Airport Zoning Plan No. E2244 dated October 23, 1986, is described as follows:

Commencing at a point in the southeasterly limit of Parcel 1, Plan 5292 Neepawa Land Titles, where it is intersected by the circumference of a circle having a radius of 4 000 m and centered at the airport reference point as described in Part I of the schedule; thence southwesterly along the southeasterly limit of said Parcel 1 to the most southerly corner thereof; thence northwesterly along the southwesterly limit of said Parcel 1 to the most southerly corner of Parcel A, Plan 7597 Neepawa Land Titles; thence northerly along the easterly limits of said Parcel A to the most northerly corner thereof; thence northeasterly along the northwesterly limits of Parcels 3 and 2, Plan 5292, Neepawa Land Titles, to an intersection with the ordinary high water mark of Hudson Bay; thence southeasterly along the ordinary high water mark of Hudson Bay to an intersection with the circumference of a circle having a radius of 4 000 m and centered at the airport reference point as described in Part I of the schedule; thence in a northeasterly direction following the circumference of the said circle clockwise to the point of commencement.
