Bruce,

You might consider increasing the height of the existing garage and
installing a two-post lift.  Lifts are hugely convenient, and will
effectively provide you with a two-car garage in case you change your
mind about that last point.

You'll need 220V service and a reinforced 5-sack concrete slab at 
least four inches thick.  A quality two-post lift will cost around 
$3000, including installation.
