Creating inaccessible space is a bad idea.
21.5" landing doesn't require a turning circle.
I strongly advise against using fractional units if space isn't tight. Slopes can be less than 1:12 and don't have to match.
Hold rails 2" off walls and edges.

thanks Coach,
One question though, at the 21.5 landing ..there is a change in direction of ramp ..so I should provide a turning circle right? a little confused.

It's a change of direction which means 60x60 is required and rails may encroach. Turning circles only required at 180-degree turns.
