Broadhopper.... what happened to you smacks of back door deals and blatant unfairness and possible illegalities. I think in your case, he was the "have" and you the "have not"
On the other case though, I fail to see the issue? They have 20' of waterfront and they want to put in a SEASONAL dock. I am not too sure its for a canoe, but it will certainly increase the value of thier property. Yes, they do need a variance to do so. They played by the rules, and got thier neighbors on one side to sign off. A year later it becomes an issue?
So what if they put up a dock? If they do it legally? I seriously doubt that a 4' x 24' dock will cause any irreparable damage to that massive 30' of shoreline. Maybe thier neighbors would be happier with a condo complex on the 47 acres instead of a single family home?
I am willing to bet both abutters have docks. Why is it the "haves" always want to impede the "have nots"? If people just remembered what it is like to be neighborly and courteous Winni would be a much better place....
