Question 1:

To the question #1: Does Table 153.2 set forth the minimum thickness requirements used on metal roof systems,even though thinner metal roofing panels are acceptable per Table 1507.4(3)?

To the Question #2: Do what we in the industry call “Trims” (eve drips, wall trims, ridge caps, preformed valleys, etc.) qualify as flashings, seeing they are always installed at the locations listed in 1503.2.1?

Answer:  Yes.  As long as the items in question are covered within the scope of section 1503.2 of the Florida Building Code, Building.

Mark Zehnal made a motion to accept the staff analysis as presented, seconded by Bob Boyer.  Vote taken, unanimous approval.
