(OP)
is it possible to design a cantilever slab with a uniform load along it free end using a simple supported beam as the point of fix support

Yes, if the beam is torsionally restrained at each end and has the capacity you can cantilever the slab off the beam.

Yes, the beam can be designed to handle the torsion...it is similar to a cantilevered canopy overhang on the side of a building. As others have noted, the ends of the beam will need to be fixed. You can also make the railing a structural component to help out.

In the elevations, the balcony is on the far right of the upper elevation drawing. In the plan view, it is the 24'-5+/- section at the lower part of one of the plan views. The plan views and elevations do not correspond in orientation.
RE: cantilever balcony
I don't think the floor beam will be loaded in torsion, because the balcony is above the floor by a couple of feet.

The only really useful information I can give is that "Pearl Vision" should be spelled "Pearle Vision". I know 'cause that is where I got my glasses last time.

In any case, this is an exterior exposed "balcony" that juts out from the face of the building and picks up an overhang wind load (in an area of 150 mph wind speeds), so there will be torsion on whatever it is attached to, assuming he can't add hangers, posts or some other ancillary attachment.
If it were just a floor extension is would be no big deal, but apparently that is not the case.
ALSO...BAretired pointed out the spelling error on "Pearle". Ophthalmologist is also spelled incorrectly...there should be another "h" in there as highlighted.
