A Camas hearings examiner will consider granting a conditional-use permit to construct an AT&T “stealth-designed” cellular tower at a public hearing set for 4 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 14, at Camas City Hall, 616 N.E. Fourth Ave. Camas.

AT&T has proposed building an 88-foot structure that will appear to be a bell tower with a church spire and cross, but will also be disguising a 60-foot cell tower.
