Narrative:
I was working the south radar position at anchorage TRACON (A11). I was given C208 off runway 7L filed direct ena (kenai) at 4;000 ft. I called the C208 radar contact and put the aircraft direct ena as per our LOA with zan. I received a departure roll strip on a DH8A (also departing runway 7L) that was also filed direct ena at 4;000 ft. The strip indicated that the DH8A was given a 10 DME restriction; meaning the aircraft was to proceed runway heading to 10 DME before they started their turn to the south to a heading of 200 degrees. When the DH8A was airborne at 1;700 ft; I called the anchorage tower and instructed them to stop the DH8A at 2;000 ft and turn him direct ena. The controller informed me that he had already switched the plane to my frequency. When the DH8A pilot checked in at 2;100 ft with me; I radar-identified the aircraft and issued a climb to 3;000 ft and turned them direct ena. The A11 and zan LOA say; 'that we can only go direct ena at 2;000 ft; 4;000 ft; or at or above 6;000 ft.' I asked the DH8A pilot if they could accept 2;000 ft enroute to ena. The pilot answered in the affirmative. The aircraft at this time was climbing out of 2;500 ft in a 2;500 ft MVA direct ena. I descended the aircraft to 2;000 ft.
