While I appreciate the modern design, it is out of context for the neighborhood. The prominent garage and lack of front porch do not fit in with the rest of the housing stock in Volker. The neighborhood is mostly shirtwaists and bungalows - mostly with front porches and rear garages. Volker is starting to see more and more tear-downs and infill that are out of character. This has prompted the neighborhood to begin investigating a conservation district to give us a little bit of control over what gets built. Modern design great, but in neighborhoods like this it needs to have a big front porch and the garage hidden away in the back. I live in Volker just around the corner from this property.
