I haven't had experience replacing a dryer in the garage but I do have a concern about this code.......
If the dryer is 18" about the ground, the washer would also have to be 18" above the ground so they will be the same height next to each other. With a top loading washer, it seems it would be very difficult to reach the bottom of the washer drum when unloading the clothes. That does not bode well for a top loading washing machine.
