And last November, the village's charter was drafted -- ironically helping lead to the first concerted effort to block the incorporation. Armando Lacasa and a small group of homeowners worried that incorporation would lead to an increase in taxes formed the Concerned Homeowners of Pinecrest. "Because of inflation, there will be problems five or more years down the road,' Lacasa said. "Pinecrest will have to grow upward because there is nowhere to grow outward." Incorporation proponents said some Key Biscayne residents also feared tax increases before their vote in 1990. But property taxes have decreased for three consecutive years. Key Biscayne Vice Mayor John Waid said his village has prospered since incorporating. And he doesn't see any reason Pinecrest wouldn't do the same. "It depends on their ability to save money," he said. "If they can provide more services for less money, then it's worthwhile. Their tax base is probably high enough that they could provide services for less money than the county can give to them." cutlines RAUL RUBIERA / Herald Staff VOTE NO: Corinne Steinbauer makes her feelings known as the Tuesday vote approaches. cutlines TIM CHAPMAN / Herald Staff VOTE YES: Jane Scott, Jim Wallace, Cindie Blanck and Evelyn Greer are advocates for incorporation.
