I would not plant this tree within 40 feet of any hardscape or foundation. You can cut the roots, but expect them to return. I would suggest you plant another tree that doesn't have these problems ...

The Silverleaf Arcadia area of North Scottsdale is known for its multi-million dollar homes and its abundance of Sissoo trees that have caused a rift between homeowners and a housing association.

As La Porte explained, the HOA’s issue was the trees’ roots. Sissoo trees have a reputation for damaging pavement and plumbing, which are expensive to fix.
