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. The City's Urban Forester has visited the site and verified the gas line could be routed through the front yard to the proposed location of the generator. All trenching and digging in the City must be done by hand so there would not be any adverse effect on tree roots. (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?

Generators of Houston, having over 15 years of experience installing emergency backup generators for residential applications, has advised that a new gas meter would be necessary in order to install a backup generator at my home at a reasonable cost, while still maintaining all of the setbacks that are required in your ordinances regarding generator placement. If my request for a new gas meter is denied, this would disqualify me from getting a generator at my home, thereby putting me in a vulnerable position when it comes to unexpected power outages, especially when hurricane season comes back around. I thank you for taking the time to review my request. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns about the variance being requested. Sincerely, Candy S.
