WELLS — Two selectman positions will be on the town ballot Tuesday.

Running for the three-year terms are incumbent Christopher Chase, York County Community College director of adult education Lisa Crothers, call firefighter John Howarth and Daniel Hobbs.

Chase said, “there is not one issue that is more important than another,” and that he seeks re-election because he wants the best for his hometown.

“I have seen a lot of changes – some I like, and some not so much,” said Chase via email. “I have the best interest of the town as a whole in mind with every dissension I make.”

The other three candidates did not respond to requests for comment by story deadline.

Wells voters will also be asked to elect two trustees to the Wells-Ogunquit Community School District Committee; both positions are three-year terms. Helena Ackerson and David Jutras are vying for one of the openings, and Karen MacNeill is running opposed for the other.

Justin Batchelder and Alphonse Niski are the only two running for the two, three-year terms as trustees for the Wells Sanitary District.

Elise Laplante, Peter Masucci and Alice Schleiderer are running for the three, three-year terms as Wells Public Library Board trustees.

For the one, three-year term as a trustee of the Kennebunk, Kennebunkport and Wells Water District, Thomas Oliver is running unopposed.

The Wells Town Meeting, voted on by ballot, is also being held Tuesday. Most of the articles are related to the proposed $17.9 million municipal budget.

Several articles pertain to a proposed public safety complex that the town plans to build for the police and fire departments.

A “yes” vote on Article 14 would allow the town to use $35,000 from the existing Municipal Land Reserve Fund to purchase a half-acre lot, which abuts town-owned property and would be used for a proposed fire department substation.

If passed, Article 17 would allow the town to spend $275,000 from the undesignated fund balance to not only purchase the quarter-acre Cumberland Farms parcel at Wells Corner, 1547 Post Road, which abuts the site of the proposed public safety complex, but also to remove the building and underground gas tanks and lines.

Article 18 asks voters to relax rules for building heights for municipal buildings and schools in the general business district, and to raise the height from 34 to 54 feet to match the height of Wells Junior High School on Route 1. This would allow greater flexibility in designing the proposed public safety facility, said Town Manager Jon Carter in an interview last month.

Article 16 on the ballot proposes appropriating $160,000 from the Land Bank Reserve to purchase a 5.69-acre parcel of land along the Merriland River.

“This is the kind of place we want to preserve,” Conservation Commission member Owen Grumbling said recently.

That land, the Tilton Downstream project, would connect the 130-acre Tilton Homestead area, which was purchased in 2012, with the 130-acre Sawyer Preserve, a land easement managed by the Great Works Regional Land Trust. The parcel is part of the original Donny Tilton Homestead, but was not purchased in 2012 with the rest of the land.

Several land-use articles are included on the warrant, including Article 20, which deals with residential cluster development and would add that “all areas of a cluster subdivision located within the Aquifer Protection District or the Shoreland Overlay District shall be dedicated as undeveloped open space.”

If passed, the article would also allow increasing maximum lot covering in the Rural District on lots smaller than 40,000 square feet from 20 percent to 40 percent, at the discretion of the Planning Board.
