[Ponte Alto] URGENT Pennsic Encampment News

[Kim Jordan]

Adding 3 feet per DIMENSION (2 dimensions: width and length),
gives you 1.5 feet per SIDE (4 sides: right, left, front
back).  So half the fire safety distance per SIDE (1.5 ft) is
being included in each tent footprint.  Your neighbor's tent
gets the other 1.5 feet per side. 

It's a math thing.  :)
