Door is too narrow. Dad built a machine shed in 1964 with an 11 foot high, 17 foot wide doors. Dang that 17 feet is narrow, has been for many decades. It got too low in 1990s also, but dang it’s narrow I shoehorn stuff in. Make a wider door! My point is these are long term investments; dad built that shed with a pull type Case combine in mind. Machinery has changed quite a bit since. My 1978 tractor with cab and wide spaced duals barely fits in that 11x17 foot door in both directions......
Build it as long as you can, you won’t ever be sorry. Can you add the lean too later, build it longer now? Depending on the company, sometimes those leantos are more expensive than the actual building! Spend your scarce dollars on the actual building, make it longer or taller and add the less to later is a wise use of money.
Shoehorning a semi in the way you describe is miserable day after day the rest of your life. Put your money into a bigger door/ longer building now, and add on later. Skip the lean to for now easy to add on when you have the funds. Don’t shortchange the main building now.
Adjust the sizes to common numbers, like 64 feet instead of 60. Might not add much to the cost at all, my machine shed ended up 81 feet long instead of 80, made it cheaper they went with 9 foot spacings. Saved a bunch of money got rid of 2 poles and a roof truss. Be flexible research the costs of different spacings.
You need more door. You need more length. You don’t -need- the leanto. Focus on what you need.

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
