I have been searching the web for plans to build a shed for storing
lumber that is attached to the outside back wall of my two car garage
without success. The back wall of the garage is thirty feet wide and
I want to tuck the roof of the shed under the existing soffit of the
garage roof which is eight feet tall. My dilemma is how to attach the
shed roof rafters to the garage wall. Any help would be appreciated.

Lag a ledger to the existing garage wall and use metal rafter ties to
secure the rafters:

I concur with the above. I'd also suggest getting a copy
of the FHA minimum property standards. They have drawings
for mimimum standards for almost every conceivable construction
technique. Minimum means just that. There's no law against
stouter than required. But it's a bad mistake to do less.
