Wow, what a situation. The money that people with a bug up their butt waste just amazes me.
Generally, when you have approval for something before you do it, changes in rules allow grandfathering. This is not a situation where everyone has to give. It's a done deal with approval given. I would push back against the "town" and do everything you can to fit into the written rules, up to and including turning the run so that it does not come up to the setback. My additional thought is that if the run-in is adjacent to the coup and the run roof attaches to that, you have a single structure. The next likely step will be to attack the coup and you have to settle this matter with the town properly. I would look for other people who have chickens and try to leverage their implementation(s) toward satisfaction. It will be a lot harder for the town to have more dissatisfied customers who have chickens than your single neighbor.
Having said all of that, i would suggest that you consider approaching and resolving this between yourself and your neighbor. If the complaining stops, your problems stop. I am not the best at diplomacy as I would ask why we are having this feud and what makes it go away. I would venture to guess that every thorn has a cure, it's just a matter if you can find that cure and live with it.
Finally, the zoning people work for someone. Talk to your representative and ask for help. You followed the rules, you are trying to get along, how can s/he help you work through this to everyone's satisfaction. The nice thing about this type of situation, the unreasonable person tends to get more unreasonable when they don't just get their way.
