I agree with Ralph but don't forget to seal the membrane penetrations - epoxy will not do that. Also, not much sticks to the polyethelene  surface they put on top of the Ice and Water Shield plus "does" may also drip out when it gets hot so I would not. Also you probably should provide a metal drip edge cause the "membrane" will also melt and drip out onto your facade. Black tar boogers running down the facade are ugly and hard to remove - I know. 


Thanks,

So be grateful the stupid architect 
is willing to put  the anchors in, set them before the membrane goes in (or 
drill thru the  membrane, set the anchors in epoxy, and then put down the 
mortar 
bed and the  precast with horiz pins thru the head joints and the eyes in 
the  
anchors.   Maybe you can convince the genius architect  to let  you use 
asphalt-coated copper flashing so there's a CHANCE of some  bonding between 
mortar 
and flashing.   But you knew all  this. Ralph 
 Kind sir 
There was a setter I used to work high rises with in the city as a young man 
not a day went by when he used to say ....".The older I get ;the less I know 
";
I didn't really get what he meant ..but I get it now  
 A.
      The owner I feel wants the stone anchored to the roof ;
B.    I am happy with hoizontal pins but use of such means its not anchored 
to the roof 
C.......its the setting bed that has me thinking perhaps alternatives like 
adhesive laid to the fire and ice sheild then to stone  then shim and set  
  or even asphaltic tar  which is a  mortar and tar like they used in 19th 
cent  .
