DPK INCORPORATED -- ELIMINATE ASPHALT PAVING #V-,93-1
Curt Ryser presented the request for a variance from Section
15. 05. 090(C) of the Kent Zoning Code which requires that all
vehicular maneuvering and storage areas be paved with asphalt or
equivalent material approved by the City Engineer. The subject
property is located at 7829 South 206th Street in the M2 zoning
district and is 2.4 acres in size.
Curt Ryser reviewed the three criteria required in order to grant
a variance and presented the following comments:
1. Approval of this variance would not constitute a grant of
special privileges for DPK Incorporated as the use of a gravel
surface in accordance with the conditions specified by the
City Engineer meet the intent of the Kent City Code which are
based in part on the goals, objectives and policies of the
City-wide Comprehensive Plan.

2 . Due to the type of equipment and materials to be stored on
this site, the use of a gravel surface is more appropriate as
it will meet the intent of the Kent Zoning Code and is
potentially less damaging to the equipment and supplies stored
on-site.
3 . The proposed variance, with the recommended conditions, will
benefit public welfare by reducing air and water pollution in
the City of Kent.
Staff recommended approval of the variance request with the
following conditions:
1. The unpaved portion of the site must have a crushed rock
surface with an engineered base section structurally designed
to support the vehicle and equipment loads proposed for the
area. A geotechnical report shall be prepared by a
professional engineer which establishes the structural section
necessary to support the use by heavy construction equipment
and vehicles.
2 . The proposed gravel storage area shall not be used for any
type of maintenance activity on the equipment or vehicles that
could result in having oil, lubricant, solvent or other
materials potentially contaminating the groundwater or surface
water systems. Any leaks from equipment during storage shall
be controlled by use of an appropriate absorbent material.
Best management practices shall be used to control potential
water quality impacts in accordance with the Department of
Ecology stormwater manual.
A motion was made and seconded to approve the variance request with
the two conditions presented in the staff report. Motion carried.
The meeting was adjourned at 7: 17 p.m.
