Well I just purchased a house in the kenmore-tonawanda area, near the corner of belmont and englewood, and the garage currently is leaning so I wanna just buld a new one bevause the existing one is beyond repair, I will be doing this in about 1 year but I wanna gather information now so it would be stress free and no snag  
So basically the the house has a 2 car garage right now  
Here is a quick top view of the drive way and garage lol

* * *

|iiiiiiiiiiii|  
|iiiiiiiiiiii| \<\<garage  
|iiiiiiiiii/  
|iiiiiiii/  
|iiiiiiii|\_\_\_\_\_\_  
|iiiiiiii| |  
|iiiiiiii|oHouseoo|  
|iiiiiiii|\_\_\_\_\_\_|

And I want the extention to look like this

* * *

|iiiiiiiiiiii|  
|iiiiiiiiiiii|  
|iiiiiiiiiiii|  
|iiiiiiiiiiii|  
|iiiiiiiiiiii|\_\_\_\_\_  
|iiiiiiii|oooooooo|  
|iiiiiiii|oohouseo|  
|iiiiiiii|oooooooo|  
The drawing hopefully helps lol  
Anyways I’m just wondering how about would I go about this?  
I would like to know the legal aspect of this like paperwork permits, etc, anything except the construction part: this will be a part two or for another day  
So the whole drive way and garage will be a big garage with a extention on top of the garage the same height as the existing house. So any help would be apricated

you gotta go to the town board to get a permit to and any addition to your existing household thats where i would start for the paper end. on the other hand start drawing out scale drawings of what you kinda want.

You might need a demo permit to knock it down, and then another building permit to put it back up. Definitely a building permit. Every town is different. Some require you to move the garage five feet forward and five feet over from the property lines too. Definitely check with the town to see what they require.

You absolutly blow at typing…

But yes. Go to the town and see what they require. Odds are you will need to submit some construction drawings, then go from there…

edit: I cant believe how much you suck at communicating yourself siqqqmach…
