Landscaping Required —Alston
Property owner Ralph Hunstein denied the violation.
Inspector Trava Alston provided a PowerPoint presentation. After the City received a complaint
about the property and the first inspection, a notice of violation was issued on September 15, 2016.
The violation at 1233 Lakeview Road related to required landscaping. Property photographs on
August 10 and August 29, 2016 showed a large truck, wheel barrel, cement mixer, and
construction material in the front yard which was covered with milling gravel/asphalt and patches of
grass/weeds. Property photographs on August 29, 2016 also showed a pile of milling gravel/
asphalt in the front yard. Property photographs on October 5 and November 1 and 28, 2016

was covered with milling gravel/asphalt and patches of grass/weeds. Inspector Alston said no
permits were pulled for renovations to the unoccupied house which had no stairs to the second
floor entrance.
Mr. Hunstein said he had a serious health condition and the project would have been completed
had he not had a total hip replacement. He said crushed asphalt was permeable, used in high end
homes, and should be legal in Clearwater. He said he could cover the entire front yard with
asphalt. He said the property had been in his family since 1961. He said landscaping would be
installed but he needed additional time.

4.23 Case 23-17
Angie Chamusco
1565 Gentry St.
Outdoor Storage/Public Nuisance— Hollifield
Glenn Chamusco represented his mother, property owner, Angie Chamusco, who passed in 2015.
He admitted to the violations.
Member Engel moved to find the Respondent(s) in violation of the City of Clearwater Code as
referred to in the affidavit in this case. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously.
Inspector Sherry Hollifield recommended compliance by February 25, 2017 or a fine of$250 per
day be imposed. She provided a photograph presentation of the violation for public nuisance
outdoor storage at 1565 Gentry Street. Property photographs on August 30, September 15,
October 20, November 30, and December 5, 2016 showed miscellaneous items, including
furniture, boxes, crates, cleaning materials, computer items, junk, etc. on the front porch, in front of
the garage, and packed in the backyard. The exterior storage was attracting vermin. Blocking the
front door created a fire hazard.
Mr. Chamusco said after he lost his job he could not afford his storage unit's rent and had to move
all his belongings to the subject property. He said health problems and a bad back made it difficult
for him to move furniture and other items. He said he could clean up the property in a month.
Attorney Smith submitted composite exhibits.
Member Riordon moved to enter an order requiring the Respondent to correct the violation on or
before March 5, 2017. If the Respondent does not comply within the time specified, the Board may
order a fine of$250 per day for each day the violation continues to exist. The motion was duly
seconded and carried unanimously.
4.24 Case 24-17
Raul Camacho
2495 Stag Run Blvd.
Ext Storage/Fences &Walls - Hollifield
Property owner Raul Camacho said he had changed his name legally to David Zusman.
Inspector Sherry Hollifield provided a PowerPoint presentation. A notice of violation was issued on
August 18, 2016, following the first inspection. The 2 violations at 2495 Stag Run Blvd. related to
exterior storage and fences and walls. Property photographs on August 15, November 17, 2016
showed pallets of tile in the driveway and a fence with missing and broken boards. Property
photographs on December 5, 2016 showed pallets of tile in the driveway.
Mr. Zusman said a neighbor liked to file complaints. He said after he purchased the foreclosed
home, moisture destroyed the wood flooring he installed. He said the City would not issue him a
permit to install tile because a permit was not required. He said he wanted a permit so he could put
a dumpster in his driveway to dispose of the ruined flooring and a pod to store his furniture while
Code Enforcement 2017-01-25 32
he installed the tile. He expressed concern the neighbor would complain as soon as the dumpster
and pod arrived. He said he was in the process of fixing the fence.

referred to in the affidavit in this case. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously.

violation be imposed.
