I just purchased a home from Hovnanian in the same place. The foundation was poured last week. We looked at both Toll Bros and Hovnanian and found the deal from Hovnanian to be much better. Feel free to PM or email me for more information.
As for the land, I don't know whether the land was horse farms, or produce. Either way, the land was cleared for this development and land transfers completed more than 5 years ago, so there have not been pesticides used, if at all, during that time.
I believe that nic529 has lived in Chesterfield for a while, he might be able to shed more light on the "land-use" question.
