I think it is between the club land and where the apartments will be. If you look on GIS, there is a square block of land floating in the middle there.

Is this a large cemetery? I thought developers usually just developed around grave sites. I wouldn't be bothered by having a small family cemetary from back in the day in my subdivision, but I think I would feel a little strange about moving the graves then building on top of it. 
Where do they move the graves to anyway in a case like this?  |

Carillon Forest over off 15-501/Pickett actually has the family cemetary set aside with a little path to it, as if it's almost an amenity of the community.
I assume "Tract 10" is not the same for these purposes as "Lot 10"? |

My great grandparents were buried in family plot in ENC. The land was purchased by the US Marine Corp (using immanent domain so it's a little different situation). But the Marine Corp had to pay to move the graves and find a suitable cementary close by. It actually worked out for the best for the family. The land the graves were previously on was sold outside the family and none of the family really had access to it. Now the graves are accessible in a small cementary.
Personally, I would not have an issue buying a home where there was once graves. But I'm not very superstitious and I want a Viking Burial when I'm gone.

Yeah, moving the graves is a lot different than what they did in Poltergeist. In that movie they only removed the grave stones. |

If they don't move them at least the neighbors will be quiet!
