To: Zoning Board of Adjustments
From: Clay Chew,Building Official
Date: April 23,2020
Re: Staff Report for Docket 2000-0003
Applicant's Request
Applicant is requesting a variance to install a second gas meter for a backup generator at 2628 Quenby
Background Information
The second meter was denied due to the Zoning Ordinance only allowing one on a single family detached
building site.
Appendix A, Article 2, Section 2-102 Certain Terms, Single-detached use. (2) There is no multiple utility
service on the building site.
Variance Request
Applicant is requesting a variance to install a second gas meter for a backup generator at 2628 Quenby Ave.
(1) The IBA has made all findings and determinations required by state law for the granting of a variance.A"special
condition"or"hardship"that is self-created,personal or based only on financial reasons is not sufficient to support the
issuance of a variance.The findings to grant a favorable result for this application are as follows:
1. The ZBA must find that a literal enforcement of the ordinance would result in an unnecessary hardship.
2. By granting the variance would the spirit of the ordinance be observed and substantial justice done?
3. Would the variance be contrary to the public interest?
(2)The ZBA has made any additional findings and determinations required by a specific provision of this section which
relates to the variance.
(3)The variance has been reduced to writing and includes any conditions prescribed by the ZBA or required by this section
for the variance in question.
1
Section 2-102. - Certain terms.

(3) There is no physical connection between any building on the building site and any other

Explanation:
In May, 2017, we moved back to West U after having lived here in the
1980s before Randy was transferred to Washington, D.C. We greatly
enjoyed living here, and all these years later, we decided to "come
back home" to Houston for our retirement and bought another home
here in West U. Most recently we lived in Richmond, VA where we
purchased a backup whole house generator, which became
necessary for use during a number of weather-related power
outages, including hurricanes. We experienced the same issues
when we lived in Williamsburg. We realized that having a generator to
provide emergency power was not only a convenience, but a human
health and safety provision as well.
Although we don't like to admit it, we are both seniors now and each
of us has one or more medical issues that make being without
power a health and safety hazard. We plan to age-in-place so
there will be additional issues that require assured electricity including
operating a yet-to-be-installed elevator and oxygen supply devices.
Add to this reality the totally unprecedented situation we all now
find ourselves in — a Stay-At-Home order by Harris County
which adds a layer of isolation and threat to all of our lives.
We were totally stunned when we tried to purchase a backup whole
house generator soon after moving into our home in May, 2017, and
were told by the public works department of West U that we could not
install the second gas meter we need. Our current meter is on the
east side of our house, and the generator needs to be installed on the
west side behind our garage with the a/c equipment.
Extending the current service is not a viable option. The
generator has to be located behind the garage (west side) with the
existing a/c equipment (shown on the plot plan). Supplying the gas
from the existing gas meter was the preferred option. However,
adding the gas supply line for a 22 kw generator required a new high
Page 5
pressure line run of over 80 feet. As can be seen on the plot plan, the
rear of the lot is covered with a brick surface on a concrete slab
rendering the area inaccessible for laying the supply line.
We are all dealing to the best of our ability with our current situation
due to the coronavirus, but it is frightening to us to realize what
could happen if we should also lose electrical power, which is a
very real possibility especially during the upcoming hurricane
season.
In a story in USA Today, dated April 2, 2020, the following prediction
is made:
After t'et another destructive 111117•ic(alle season in 2019,
10/) hurricane,jOrecasters from Colorado State University on
Thursday said we can expect major activity (lg(1111 tills year.
I'Ve anticipate that the 2020 Atlantic basin hurricane season
will have above-normal acts Itl', the fol"ecast said. In
addition, there is (ill "above-average prO1alilitl'.for major
hurricanes making landfall along the continental United
States. ''
If approved, we plan to have the generator operational in time for the
June 1 beginning of the hurricane season.
We just received a notice from Generators of Houston with the
information that on March 19, 2020, the U. S. Dept. of Homeland
Security designated Generac, the manufacturer of the generators they
use, as a "critical infrastructure company." Generac's president, Kyle
Raabe, further stated that since we are all now to stay in our homes,
they are truly our sanctuary, and a constant supply of power has
never been more important.
Page 6
It seems obvious that our city should not be forbidding us to
spend our own money to provide the health and safety
equipment we need to be safe and secure in our own home.
The Purpose of our city code states "...the City's comprehensive
plan for the purpose of promoting the health, safety, morals and
general welfare of the City." [bold added] The requested variance
supports the City's commitment to promote the health and safety of its
residents.
The denial of the variance will place us at an undue health and safety
risk.
This limited variance for a dedicated gas meter for a standby
generator is clearly consistent with the apparent intent of the code to
block use of single-family dwellings from becoming rental units.
Once the variance is recorded there will be no ambiguity as to its
intent in limiting the gas service to supply a backup generator at our
home.
