hereafter erected must be built wholly of bricks,
stone, or concrete, or bricks and stones together laid

SCHEDULE
For determining the thickness of external walls and
party walls which may be hereafter built within
the limits of the Borough of Timaru.

WITH REFERENCE TO THE HEIGHT.
If the building be not more than 15 feet high, the
thickness of the external walls must be at the least
8½ inches from the top of the footing to the top of
the wall; the thickness of the party walls must be at
the least 8½ inches from the top of the footing to the
top of the wall.

If the building be more than 15 feet and not more
than 25 feet high, the thickness of the external walls
must be at least 13 inches from the top of the foot-
ing to the underside of the topmost floor, and at
least 8½ inches from the underside of the topmost
floor to the top of the wall; the thickness of the
party walls must be at least 13 inches from the top
of the footing to the underside of the topmost floor,
and at the least 8½ inches from the underside of the
topmost floor to the top of the wall.

If the building be more than 25 feet and not more
than 38 feet high, the thickness of the external walls
must be at least 17½ inches from the top of the foot-
ing to the underside of the floor next below the top-
most floor, and at least 13 inches from the underside
of the floor next below the topmost floor to the
underside of the topmost floor, and at least 8½ inches
from the underside of the topmost floor to the top of
the wall; the thickness of the party walls must be at
the least 17½ inches from the top of the footing to
the underside of the floor next below the topmost
floor, and at least 13 inches from the underside of
the floor next below the topmost floor to the under-
side of the topmost floor, and at least 8½ inches
from the underside of the topmost floor to the top of
the wall.

If the building be more than 38 feet and not more
than 54 feet high, the thickness of the external walls
must be at least 17½ inches from the top of the
footing to the underside of the floor next below the
topmost floor, and at least 13 inches from the under-
side of the floor next below the topmost floor
to the top of the wall; the thickness of the party
walls must be at the least 17½ inches from the top of
the footing to the underside of the floor next below
the topmost floor, and at the least 13 inches from the
underside of the floor next below the topmost floor to
the top of the wall.

If the building be more than 54 feet high, the
thickness of the external walls must be at the least
21½ inches from the top of the footing to the under-
side of the floor next but one below the topmost
floor, and at the least 17 inches from the underside
of the floor next but one below the topmost floor to
the underside of the topmost floor, and at the least
13 inches from the underside of the topmost floor to
the top of the wall; the thickness of the party walls
must be at the least 21½ inches from the top of the
footing to the underside of the floor next but one
below the topmost floor, and at the least 17 inches
from the underside of the floor next but one below
the topmost floor to the underside of the topmost
floor, and at least 13 inches from the underside
of the topmost floor to the top of the wall.

PIERS.
7. Any wall less than 13 inches thick carrying
a roof with principals, or extending for a greater
distance than 20 feet without being tied in with a
return wall of brick or stone or with a framed stud
partition, must be strengthened with piers at least
4 inches projection, and such width and distance
apart as the Building Surveyor may direct: any third
storey enclosed by a wall less than 13 inches thick
must not exceed 10 feet in height.

HEIGHTS.
8. The height of any building, or part of any
building, is to be ascertained by measuring from
the surface of the lowest floor up to the top of the
wall-plate for receiving the roof.

OPENINGS, &c.
9. In all external walls, besides all requisite open-
ings for doors and windows, recesses may be formed
so that the back thereof be of the thickness of 8½
inches at the least, and so that the sufficiency and
stability of the wall, in the opinion of the Building
Surveyor, be not injuriously affected by making such
recesses.

PARAPETS.
10. Every external wall and party wall hereafter
built of brick or stone must be carried up and
remain 18 inches at least above the highest part of
the adjacent gutter; and the thickness of the external
wall or party wall so carried up above the level of
the gutter, and forming a parapet, must be at the
least 8½ inches; and should any external wall or
party wall be finished with a gable, the same shall be
carried up at least 8½ inches thick, 15 inches above
the roof at least, measured at right angles to the
back of the rafter.

PROJECTIONS.
11. Projections from buildings, such as door and
window dressings, strings, fascias, copings, parapets,
blocking courses, or other architectural decorations,
forming part of any external wall, shall not project
beyond the street line more than four inches, except
cornices, entablatures, or pediments, which may
project any distance approved by the Building Sur-
veyor. No base-course, whether of the main build-
ing or of any projection, shall project more than 2½
inches beyond the street line. All projections of
every character must be built of the same materials
as are by these Regulations directed to be used for
building external walls; and it shall not be lawful to
project any other part of a building beyond the street
line than those parts above allowed.

DIVISION OF BUILDINGS.
