I would like to add a room to the side of my house for a small wood shop.
The best I can do with my property is a shop no more than nine feet wide.
Length can be as much as twenty feet. I would need a table saw, of course,
as well as a work bench and some of the essential, smaller power tools
(router table?, band saw?, etc.) Do I have enough space?

I have seen a "complete" woodshop contained in one portable box! It
really depends on what you intend to build. You can improvise too. I
know one shop that when he needed to rip a long board he opened a
window to feed the board. In another shop he rolled the machines out
onto a patio--of course this can only be done on good-weather days. A
table saw is very important to me, but I've seen small shops without
one. At one time my "shop" was my apartment living room, and I waited
until my neighbors left before powering up my tools.
