A & J Rentals waiver hearing postponed after applicant no‑show; neighbors ask questions about storage use

The Sunrise Manor Town Advisory Board postponed consideration of waiver requests from A & J Rentals LLC to allow accessory structures established prior to a primary residence and to permit changes in fence type and height.

The agenda item, ET25400069 / WS240547, concerns a 1.622‑acre RS‑20 parcel west of Fogg Street and south of Bonanza Road. No representative of A & J Rentals was present, and board members and attendees said they preferred to hear an explanation from the applicant before voting. The board voted to hold the item for the next meeting on Aug. 14, 2025.

Several residents in the audience raised questions while the item was pending, asking whether the site would be used for a storage yard and pointing to a Connex (shipping) container visible in posted photos. One resident said the posted packet images suggested a storage or commercial use and requested clearer information; the board said planning staff would notify the applicant and that the item would be returned after the applicant’s appearance.

Why it matters: The waivers, if approved, would allow accessory structures and non‑decorative fencing that can change the character of residential lots. With the applicant absent, the board chose to defer rather than proceed without testimony or clarification.
