We finally sent in the application with all of the required signatures (13 out of the 17 houses within a 150 foot radius of our property). I was worried about sending it in before our coop was fully finished, but was relieved to read this post on the "twin cities chicken blog":
When we were applying, Animal Control told us specifically that they could
not keep up or be timely with inspections, and that they expected people to
just get started without waiting. They were kind and understanding and
really pretty cool. With us, they were not adversarial, they were helpful
and informative. Just go for it and animal control will come and visit
eventually.
Another post said that they did not get their inspection until a year after they applied! (although that was in Minneapolis, I think) So I don't think that we need to worry. the paperwork has been submitted, and I think we're officially in compliance. (We'll just hope that the cranky neighbor doesn't complain before we get the real permit!

I bet that cranky neighbor will forget about it then all of a sudden one day think, "Hey, I wonder whatever happened with that house that was getting the chickens?!" She won't even notice that they've been outside for months!
