Narrative:
I was working radar west vectoring two aircraft for IFR approaches at ict. A VFR twin cessna came off the airport wanting approaches to 19R. I climbed the twin to 3;500 to avoid the antennas to the northwest. Aircraft X then came off the runway wanting another approach to 19R. I asked him if he was coming back to radar after the approach; and turned him. They stated 'no.' I failed to climb aircraft X to 4;000 above the 3;500 MVA antennas. Once the low altitude alert when off; I then climbed aircraft X to 4;000.our west climbout instructions for a north flow is climb to 4;000 turn left 300; but our south flow is climb to 3;000 turn right to 260. I think our climb out for south flow should be climb to 4;000 also to prevent this. This is not the first time this has happened at our facility.
