Re: Staff Report for Docket 2020-0017,5812 Charlotte St.
Applicant's Request
Applicant is requesting a variance to allow a second gas meter for a back-up generator at 5812
Charlotte St.
Background Information
The second meter would be 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 back-up generator.
(1) The ZBA 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.
(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.
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?

Form ZBA-102
To: West University Zoning Board of Adjustment
From: Henry H. Woods
Regarding: Gas Meter Request
I am herein requesting the City Council allow a variance for an additional gas meter at my residence
located at 5812 Charlotte Street.The meter will serve only as an emergency gas generator and will be
located behind the garage (see attached survey).The entrance for the garage is off of Wakeforest
Avenue. Centerpoint has evaluated and staked the proposed meter location.
The variance request is being due to the position of the existing gas meter being on the opposite corner
of the home from the electrical service.This creates a difficult long gas run that crosses the pool
plumbing lines, pool light electric line, subsurface drainage line, irrigation lines,artificial turf, and six
mature tree root systems.The new meter will not be visible to neighbors, nor will it serve anything
other than the proposed generator.
Thank you for your consideration of this request.
Sincerely,
jhA_ /ht. /�Z.c/cr-
Henry H.Woods
