 to the Board of Supervisors.

The issue will go before supervisors Tuesday for a vote. The board meets at 9:30 a.m. in the county Hall of Administration.

The fee was established in 1990 to help finance the Consolidated Fire Protection District that funds firefighting services in the Malibu/Santa Monica Mountains area, the Santa Clarita Valley and the Antelope Valley This article is about the Los Angeles County region. For the census-designated place in Wyoming, see Antelope Valley-Crestview, Wyoming.

.

Each area paid the same amount, but if the supervisors approve the proposal on the table Santa Clarita would have the highest fee, a hair higher than Malibu and 6 cents per square foot more than Antelope Valley. The proposed increase is based on the cost of land and development of the stations.

Developers can donate property to the fire district or pay the fee, which typically is passed on to homebuyers. Similar fees are paid for school construction and other public services.

The newly proposed fee is based on the average appraised value for land being acquired for planned fire stations. Because of the large number of stations planned in Santa Clarita Valley, the costs include pro-rated shares for a battalion and division headquarters.

In the next five years, the department expects to need a total of 19 permanent stations and three temporary facilities in the three areas.

Permanent stations planned in Santa Clarita are Station 106 in the Westridge tract; 104 on Golden Valley Road near Soledad Canyon Road; 128 on Whites Canyon Road; 132 in the West Thompson Ranch development on Sand Canyon Road; 143 in Hasley Canyon; 150 on Golden Valley east of the Antelope Valley (14) Freeway; 156 on Copper Hill Drive. Temporary stations are planned until stations 132 and 156 are built.

Developer fees cover the costs of land, construction and equipment.
