Chris, you can also have root invigoration--aeration, inoculation, fertilization, mulch etc.-- specified for the undisturbed portion of the root zone, so they can function more effectively and take up the slack from the inevitable root pruning; sounds like you have a good idea on how to do that.
Also, if you could post a diagram showing how far from trunk and how deep the cut will be made, you may get further advice, or get persuaded that you need an arborist on site!
As for that pool hugger's cutting and thrusting

, I shall give it no heed, being above that type of fray.
