We were told at the variance meeting that there would be a 4 foot crawlspace under the structure for storage. It was not meant to be a living space, although Mr. Corr told me himself that not only was it going to be livable, it was going to have a kitchen, running water, electricity and plumbing whether I like it or not! It was going to be a fully functioning living space 4 feet off of our lot line. He was planning on living there while he was rebuilding the other house...Now he will have 2 dwellings on one property....REALLY?....
There cannot be two dwelling units on that lot, with only 100 feet of frontage, as it lacks the frontage for two units required by town bylaws. From page 12 of the reference cited by Rusty:

C. Minimum lot dimensions for each waterfront lot shall be as follows:
(1) Minimum shore frontage shall be 150 feet for the first dwelling unit to be granted access.
(2) An additional 150 feet of frontage is required for each additional dwelling unit after the first unit, where the additional unit is to be located within 250 feet from the
reference line established by RSA 483-B, as amended.
(3) An additional 50 feet of frontage shall be required for each additional dwelling
unit to be located beyond 250 feet from the reference line established by RSA 483-B,
as amended.

C(1) doesn't apply, as the original camp was grandfathered in. C(3) doesn't apply, since the second structure is within 250 feet of the reference (shore) line. But C(2) certainly does apply, even without state DES concerns about what the structure can be within 50 feet of the shore.
