TOWN OF AURORA 575 OAKWOOD AVENUE, EAST AURORA, NY 14052 BUILDING DEPARTMENT : (716) 652-7591 MEMO TO: Supervisor Snyder and Town Board Members FROM: _ Elizabeth Cassidy, Code Enforcement Officer DATE: — September 10, 2026 To recap our site visit yesterday at the library: e The upper ramp, depending on where you measure from, may be compliant with slope in the direction of travel. e The slope perpendicular to the direction of travel (cross slope) shall not be more than 1:48 and the upper ramp has a slope greater than this, 2025 NYSBC 1012.3. e The intermediate landing remains non-compliant with BC1012.6.4, since the landing is not 60” by 60” minimum. The lower ramp is not compliant with the 1:12 slope limit of BC1012.2 The lower landing is not compliant with the 1:48 slope allowance BC1012.6.1 The transitions between the ramps and landings must be flush The handrails lack the required extensions BC1014.7 In the best interest of the Town and in order to maintain safe ingress and egress from the library, the whole ramp should be replaced (ramps, landings, etc). Removal and replacement of both sloped areas only would require the entire ramp to become compliant. Total replacement will require stamped plans and a building permit. I would not object to repairing the minimum areas of the ramp that are in disrepair with the understanding that the larger project would be prioritized in the near future. liz
