## Opinion text

Concurring Opinion by
Mr. Justice Cohen:
I join in the opinion of Justice O’Brien but I am impelled to write this concurrence to observe that the dissenting opinion seeks to advocate a new legal con *561 cept in the grant of variances, namely—that self-imposed economic hardship is a justification for the grant of a variance. The acceptance of such a principle would completely undermine all of our zoning legislation.
Mr. Chief Justice Bell joins in this ©ewcurring opinion.
