Seems to me it would take just as much energy and time to do something like this than file the paper work for a variance which may be possible to do online. Or a phone call for the forms. Sure your angry but ask yourself this, is this how you would recommend someone else deal with this? Not to mention the example you want to set for your children?
Seems to me you took a risk and lost. Sad yes, but not unexpected in Liverpool. I grew up there and seems to me no one there was ever very nice.

http://www.villageofliverpool.org For me in Minoa it is costing me $300 for a variance which is total BS. (hopefully it wouldn't cost you that much) BUT I will be having tons more chickens once I receive that permit hahaha! How were you notified and by whom? There should be something that says which laws you "broke". I know with my situation the Village of Minoa never even dealt with this type of situation. It took them forever to even figure out what forms I should fill out and even then they had to adjust the application because it was for construction type building permits. The sad thing is the only reason they even knew we had them was because a neighborhood dog got out and chased after my daughter and her friends. Once the kids came running into my house I went out to see where it went. I walked out to it repeatedly charging the chicken coop which made our rooster come flying out of the top. My daughter, who I told to stay inside, and I witnessed the dog attack and destroy her baby (the rooster). I called 911 and in the end all that could be done was the owner was issued a no leash ticket. They said that even though it chased the kids and killed the rooster there wasn't anything they could do because we were 1/2 at fault because we were breaking the law by having chickens. I have a signed petition from all of my neighbors who have said they have no issue with us having them and even though we have had them for over a year they still want us to jump through hoops. I think that $300 is outrageous but I made sure that the application was worded just right so that we will be able to have many more "poultry" once I get the variance permit in my hands.
