If for an ocean front protective structure, shall be accompanied by an analysis of hazard avoidance alternatives, including relocation of existing buildings or other infrastructure, or increased setbacks for new buildings or infrastructure. Such analysis shall describe why hazard avoidance alternatives are not feasible, or if tried, why they were not successful. Relevant factors may include topographic limitations, limits of area for relocation, or cost. If the cost of moving a building or infrastructure is listed as a factor which makes hazard avoidance unfeasible, then the application shall include cost estimate(s) from licensed contractors specializing in building relocation; and
