So I have to apply for a variance to have chickens in Augusta, MI

Good Luck! Keep us updated. Seems to me the RTFA is all you should have to do. We had to use that at our rental house, they had goats. Someone from the state came out and we had to have a manure removal system on file, what they were being fed, and the renter sold goat soap, so that too.
Not too hard. never had to remove the animals either while this was going on.

Be sure to provide a citation for the law, and probably a link to all the state statutes. As a first step I would ignore the advice of getting and presenting signatures--you shouldn't be giving them the idea that you in any way agree that their variance requirements are legal under state law. Not presenting them now certainly doesn't mean you cannot later, but you need to operate with and exude the obvious belief that you ARE legal, and that their list of requirements is NOT.

This is sooooo good!!!!!
