   Janet M. Insardi, for intervenor-respondent.

   MEMORANDUM:

   The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed, with costs.

   The Zoning Board of Appeals held that the caretaker'sapartment was a
   permitted accessory use, given the size of the beach club and the
   propensity for vandalism in an area that was deserted when the club
   was not in use. That determination was neither irrational,
   unreasonable nor inconsistent with the governing statute ( Matter of
   New York Botanical Garden v Board of Stds. & Appeals, 91 NY2d 413,
   419). The lodging and sleeping prohibitions of the Town ordinance
   apply only to the beach club, not to its permitted accessory uses.

   Order affirmed, with costs, in a memorandum. Chief Judge Kaye and
   Judges Bellacosa, Smith, Levine, Ciparick, Wesley and Rosenblatt
   concur.
