BACKGROUND:
The applicant Rami Mosbat is requesting a variance to reduce the rear building setback from 30 feet to 27.75 feet to accommodate a cantilevered balcony. The property lies within the Bayou Texar Shoreline Protection District, in which the setbacks along the Bayou are measured from the Mean High Water Line (MHWL) as opposed to the property line. In this case, the proposed location of the addition is at least 120 feet from the rear property line. The subject property is unique in shape and contains a substantial amount of wetlands. Due to the wetlands, the MWHL is further into the parcel than would typical of other parcels along the Bayou.
