Segmenting an Octree in the way you want is a non-trivial task. These trees partition space by recursively subdividing cubic volumes into 8 smaller cubes. Therefore trying to extract the region within 30m of a given point may cross many different branches of the tree.

Are you sure you wouldn't be better off using a 2.5D digital elevation map using the grid_map plugin?
