Community Renewal, LLC, filed an application to remove graves from Mt. Olive Cemetery at Frankie Allen Park in March of 2009.  On December 9, 2009, the Atlanta Urban Design Commission voted to recommend that the Atlanta City Council deny the application.  On Tuesday, March 9, 2010, the Atlanta City Council's Community Development/Human Resources Committee voted unanimously to deny the application. The City Council voted 11 to 1 to deny the application on Monday, March 15, 2010.  On March 31, 2010, Community Renewal, LLC, and Brandon Marshall filed a complaint in the Superior Court of Fulton County seeking declaratory relief and judicial review of the adverse decision by the Atlanta City Council. No further action has been taken at this time.
