REGULAR ITEMS
1e Case ZBA-25-003 — Triple Crown Estates, Lot 6, Block A
Conduct a public hearing and consider action regarding a request made by Charles
Jeppesen, on behalf of the property owner Moda Homes, LLC, for a variance to Section
14.02.151(f)(6), rear yard setback requirements, to reduce the rear yard setback from 25
feet to 15 feet.
Chairman Bowman opened the public hearing at 6:03 p.m.
Matt Cox, Director of Community Development, provided an overview of the request. He
explained the lot is part of a proposed six -lot subdivision, Triple Crown Estates, which is not yet
platted. The subject property, Lot 6, has a unique pie shape due to its location on a cul-de-sac,
creating challenges with building placement and setback compliance. The applicant requested a
10-foot reduction in the rear setback, reducing it from 25 feet to 15 feet. Mr. Cox noted that all
public hearing notice requirements were met, including mailing to properties within 200 feet.
Two emails were received: one from within and one from outside the200-foot notification radius.

Nate Jeppesen, 2032 Churchill Downs, addressed the Board. He stated the request was
specific to his personal residence and explained that the lot's shape made it difficult to design a
functional home within the standard setback requirements. The reduced setback would affect only
the rear of the lot, which backs up to U.S. Army Corps of Engineers property.
Public Comment:
Carolyn Rosson, 2928 Nottingham Court, spoke. Initially opposed, she withdrew her
objection after clarification that the setback did not impact her property or neighboring residents'
Lots.
Chairman Bowman closed the public hearing at 6:09 p.m.
The Board members discussed the unique characteristics of the lot and its minimal impact
on neighboring properties. Comments included support for the proposal due to the property's
adjacency to undevelopableCorps land and its overall size.
Board Member Burley moved to approve a request made by Charles Jeppesen, on behalf
of the property owner Moda Homes, LLC, for a variance to Section 14.02.151(f)(6), rear yard
setback requirements, to reduce the rear yard setback from 25 feet to 15 feet. Board Member
Harper seconded the motion.
