27-124 — Marginal dock with encroachment into rear setback in Jupiter, FL
Property owner is requesting a variance to allow a marginal dock to encroach 2.6 feet into the required 7.5-foot rear setback on a riverfront residential property along the Loxahatchee River. Staff determined the application does not meet four of seven variance criteria and notes that a code-compliant dock design was already approved in 2021. The variance decision will affect waterfront development standards and environmental protection measures for the sensitive aquatic preserve area.
