OP, and others, you might want to call or visit the Sumter County Building Dept, Pinellas Plaza, there was a significant revision to the building code about 1.5 to 2 years ago, I know our project got caught in the change. Some of the info you are getting MAY be dated. I always like to go to the source, so I get the correct info. I am not sure of the current Hurricane requirements.
Finchs, in your case, I would definitely ask the building dept, and tell them your ultimate plans, you may find there will be other work required.
Hope this helps.
