"The Common Council
City of Rm hester
Rochester, Minnesota
Subject: Ordinance.No. 1087, Amending Ordinance
599, Section 608, Titled "Steel and Iron", by
adding Subsection 14, and titling "14" PANEL
WALL, dated Aig ust 2, 1960.
Gentlemen:
The H F Campbell Company are the Engineers and Contractors for the 101,000 square
foot addition, to the manufacturing area of the existing IBM facility, located
northwest of Rochester, Highway 52 North. The "PANEL WALL", which now exists on
this facility, is being duplicated. That part of the exterior panel wall will be
removed, and reused where the new addition adjoins the existing plant wall; and
the new wall will be fabricated and installed for the balance of exterior wall
requirements to the panel design criteria as now exists, namely:
Aluminum mullions, placed 4'-0" on centers; anchored at the base
on the concrete foundation wall and at the top at the bottom chords
of the steel trusses, insulated porcelain enameled panels, 5/16"
thick, and 1/4" thick glass at the sight line. This construction
will withstand a 20 pound per square foot, (204/s.f.) horizontal
wind pressure. The new installation is planned to duplicate the
existing installation.
In reference to subject Ordinance No. 1087 - Titled "Panel Walls", we note that
the ordinance calls for 1-1/2" insulated panels, and that the panels be able to
withstand a 40 pound per squre foot horizontal, live, and dead local pressure.
As stated in above paragraph, the IBM panel construction will withstand a 20
pounds per square foot horizontal live and dead load pressure, and is 5/16"
thick.

We submit herewith the following reference and supporting data:
A. One set of drawing sheets ST-101, A-101, A-102, and A-108. These sheets

C. Letter dated August 16, 1962, Flour City Company to H F Campbell Company.
D. Letter dated August 20, 1962, IBM Coproration to Rochester City Council:
E. Copies of Ordinance No. 1087.
The Flour City Company, which has nationwide experience in'exterior sash wall
fabrication and installation, state in their letter that it is their opinion that
the code, as written, is not applicable to the IBM installation due to street
distances, and that the installation safe in consideration of standard practices
as appliced to the IBM installation.
The IBM letter enclosed, stated that the local management is satisfied with
conditions as existing, having had substantiated the design criterial with the
original Architects and Engineers, and in their use of the building since 1957
•
occupancy.
The H F Campbell Company in consideration of the facts, feels that the ordinance
is applicable more to high rise structures, forty or more feet in height, in
densely constructed building areas, (Narrow streets, sidewalk areas, narrow alley
construction, where fire spread is always a potential hazard) and in Densely
populated areas, (where sidewalk construction and relation to exterior wall
construction can be hazardous to public safety and welfare). In the installation
at the IBM facility, none of the factors above outlined are present. The design
of the existing panel is adequate. Therefore, in view of the data presented, the
H F Campbell Company respectfully asks the Council of the City of Rochester,
Minnesota, to grant a variance in "Panel Wall" construction for this construction
project.
We respectfully thank this body for your consideration in this matter.
Sincerely yours,
/s A J Bruckert
Project Manager
H F Campbell Company"
Mr. Garnet Spring, Building Inspector, stated that he had reviewed this, that such a variance had
I�
been granted when the main plant had been built and there had been no signs of structural failure,
and therefore recommended approval of the variance. Mr. K. G. Ward, Plant Engineer for IBM, also
stated that there had been no signs of structural failure on the main plant. Mr. A. J. Bruckert,
Project Manager for H F Campbell Company was also present. After hearing those present a motion

Rochester,

Gentlemen: _
This firm represents Mr. Robert Farris,•president of Sonor Hotel Corporation.
The corporation is proceeding with plans to build a 105 unit Holiday Inn Motel
at No 3100 South Broadway, Rochester, Minnesota, the present site of the
Hitching Post antique shop.

We will necessarily require sewer and water facilities for this project. We
have consulted with K M McGhie, civil engineer, relative to facilities for
connecting with existing city lines and have also consulted with the State
Board of Health relative to the drilling of a well and the erection of a
separate sewer disposal facility.
Our present position in writing is to ask the Council whether they would be
willing to extend sewer and water facilities outside of the corporate limits
to the Holiday Inn site. If the Council is willing to make such extension, we
would, of course, be happy to utilize city facilities. If not, then we must
proceed with the plans for a separate private facility and look forward in the
future to future annexation. Your decision in this matter is essential so that
we can roceed with our plan.
Respectfully,
SONOR, INC.
By: W. H. Price, Jr. Its attorney."
