Your assumption is correct That is the best slope for wheel chair and easiest to negotiate. However Private residences are not required to comply with ADA ramp access guidelines. However, if a permanent ramp is to be installed at a private residence the local building code will provide the guidelines by which the ramp is to be constructed.
