Supervisor David Haubert and the other Alameda County Board of Supervisors must promptly replace East County Board of Zoning Adjustments members Frank Imhof, Derek Eddy and Scott Beyer with members who are not rubber stamps of County planning staff or developers.
This three-member, appointed board has great power over the future of unincorporated East Alameda County, directly impacting the lives of residents and the ecosystems. Beyer, whose term expired a year ago, missed critical decision meetings during the past year. Eddy and Imhof have less than a year remaining on their terms, but they too should be replaced now.

LIVERMORE â The East County Board of Zoning Adjustments (BZA) last week voted to move forward with the smaller of two controversial solar utility-scale projects set for North Livermore.
Aramis, the larger 410-acre project also set for North Livermore, already gained approval from the BZA on Nov. 24.
At its Dec. 10 meeting, the BZA â absent board member Scott Beyer â approved the 59-acre Sunwalker projectâs conditional use permit (CUP) and certified the environmental impact report (EIR) with conditions. The project site sits at 4871 N. Livermore Ave., at the intersection of North Livermore Avenue and May School Road.
Board member Frank Imhof said the project should have a 100-foot buffer zone on three of the projectâs sides and landscape berms with agriculture along the perimeter. He added that a bond should be in place, obligating the applicant to restore the land to its original form if the project were never completed. Board member Derek Eddy said the project should undergo review at two-year intervals for the first 10 years to ensure compliance. The two agreed the applicant would need to provide proof of potable water purchase.
