I have pleaded this <br />hearing at the request of my client, Jordan Industries, Inc., <br />and before the city considers the enactment of this ordinance, <br />I would like to point out several relevant facts: <br /> <br />1. Jordan Industries, Inc. has discontinued all opera- <br />tions at the Third Street location which has in the <br />past created problems. <br /> <br />2. Jordan Industries, Inc. over the past eighteen (18) <br />months has seen an increase in business in access of <br />1,000 per cent, with all the problems that growth of <br />that magnitude entails. <br /> <br />3. Jordan Industries, Inc. has relocated its base of <br />operation from Third Street to Sixteenth Street, a <br />Commercial and Industrial District, in a good faith <br />attempt to eliminate any problems they may have caused <br />in the past. <br /> <br />4 . I n at t e m p tin g to. e 1 i m i n ate the pas t pro b 1 ems, J 0 r d a n <br />Industries, Inc., has made a substantial investment <br />in real property based on representations that this <br />investment would eliminate, or at least alleviate, <br />any future problems. <br />
