2. ““ ‘An owner does not suffer hardship sufficient -to warrant the granting of a variance simply because his land would be more valuable or yield more profits if the variance were granted. * * * A zoning regulation imposes an unnecessary hardship which will warrant a variance only where the hardship is unique to a particular owner’s property. * * * “Zoning regulations impose hardship sufficient to support the granting of a variance, if the only permitted uses are not economically feasible. Unnecessary hardship exists where an existing and legal use cannot efficiently be continued because of insufficient parking facilities, or because of the size or shape of a lot, or the placement of an existing building.’ ” Fox, supra, 28 Ohio App.2d at 181 , 57 O.O.2d at 237 , 275 N.E.2d at 641 .”
